Post Status Notifications

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

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

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 · 91% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 9.6 years ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 90% of the way through.

   Lousy. I am an admin and I needed it to receive notifications when someone leaves a “pending post”, but instead he sends me horrible emails with very long links when I publish the note that was pending. In other words, it informs me about what I did. Completely useless.

   <!– wp:paragraph –> <p class=””>Since I cannot create another review, I can only edit this one negatively. This plugin was great, however, I cannot get it to work with the Block editor. I turned off the two-step publishing process, but it still won’t go out. No-one has answered either of my support requests, https://wordpress.org/support/topic/compatibility-with-block-editor-2/ or https://wordpress.org/support/topic/compatibility-with-block-editor-emails-not-sent/. It seems the support is severely lacking. Can’t wait any longer. Going to change to another method.</p> <!– /wp:paragraph –> This topic was modified 2 years, 5 months ago by madriverweb.

   I have to say I have Easy WP SMTP installed and all emails from my WordPress are sent via a googlemail account. But I am sure it should work also with usual network mail.

   This plugin sends links to their website when it sends out the notification. The authors also made their files Read Only in an attempt to prevent you from making any changes. You do not have the option of removing this. Line 325 in the wpsite_post_status_notification.php file adds their information to your posts. $wpsite_info = “\r\n\r\nThis was sent by 99 Robots Post Status Notifications.” . “\r\n” . “99robots.com”;
