Follow Us Badges

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 · 100% run the current release. 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.

   I’ve been wanting to add Follow Buttons to my site for months now and was glad to find this simple to use plugin. These days ones social networks really are keeping a brand in play so it was nice to see the big options of Twitter and Facebook but I wondered when and if we can count on Instagram being added to the mix of options. So many websites have official accounts to entertain their visitors and a button to direct those people to the account would be excellent.

   It provides the ability to link to a few of the more popular services, but there’s little control over the appearance of the badges. The two styles shown in the screenshots are the only styles available. I can’t, for instance, get a single row of badges without the text. The badges also “jump” while loading; they resize once the graphics load, which looks unprofessional. CSS should be used to set the sizes of the containers before the contents load. Also can’t select whether links open in new window (they do).

   This plug-in quickly and easily does exactly what I hoped it would. One small glitch (due to my own inexperience) was rapidly and effectively addressed by extremely responsive support staff. Highly recommend!

   Nice plugin, it actually behaves as expected. Fit for its job. It would be even greater if some more social channels where available with their respective Follow button.
