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 · 97% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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.

   I’ve used this both on bilingual sites and single language sites. Works great, is easy to use and setup. Saved me a lot of time. I now have a tag widget for each category, instead of one super long tag widget! Thanks guys!

   This is a great plugin for using different tag groupings in both posts and pages and support is fast and fully explanatory for non-techies!

   the power of this plugin is being able to leverage associated tags without being stuck in a hierarchy. anyone who uses tags extensively needs this.

   I have used it to group similar taxonomy terms into one hierarchy. The code can appear a bit tangly if you’re trying to modify it, but when you start to undestand it, the plugin is very good

   If I understand your plugin I can group tags two ways: By language: German tags: Auto, Buch, Sofa, Zeitung, LKV English tags: Car, Book, Couch, Newspaper, Truck By semantics (as I define them): Vehicles: Car, Auto, LKV, Truck Furniture: Sofa, Couch Reading Materials:Newspaper, Book, Buch, Zeitung What I would like to do is simply define equivalents: Book=Buch, Car=Auto, Truck=LKV, Newspaper=Zeitung In terms of UX what I want to happen is when someone types either Buch or Book into the built in tag field that it links and applies the correct tag pair. Is this third option possible? I guess it is like defining an RDF tripple… But in the taxonomy.

   Excelent idea, work and apparatus. It’s a tool to think seriously. Congratulations for the hard work. I’ll try to work with it in: Real Estate, Sports, News… and so on. Cunning is crutial at the time of to guide the cern to the target //or to define the relations of the target with the cern. [ Signature moderated. ]
