WPML to Polylang

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   Works great, but just a little correction in process: you have to remove WPML completely (google for that, that’s not so easy, that’s just about removing the plugin) once you imported everything to Polylang. Before WPML removal, my translation didn’t work on secondary language. But now everything is ok! Big thanks to developers!

   Very helpful plugin. Tried to move manually – spent an hour for average-sized website, found, that a bunch of details are still to set, and started from scratch with this plugin – did in 3 minutes, including downloading.

   I rarely leave reviews but this plugin warrants one. After weeks and weeks of problems with WPML i finally switched to Polylang and this plugin made that process of transferring my already translated pages and templates from WPML so Polylang so easy and straightforward. Complete transfer in 2 seconds! Big thanks to the developers of this one!!
