Yada Wiki

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 · 65% 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.

   Das Plugin ist einfach zu bedienen und doch extrem leistungsstark. Ich nutze es in meinem Blog, der von meinen Fotospaziergängen im Hamburger Hafen handelt. Ich habe viele Fotos von Schiffen, aber auch Möwen, Enten und anderen Wasservögeln. Die kann ich jetzt auf eigenen Seiten vorstellen, mit viel Hintergrundinformationen. Die eigentliche Blogseite muss ich dafür nicht mehr nutzen, sie kann einen ganz anderen Erzählstil beinhalten. Tausend Dank an David, er hat mir mit seiner Arbeit eine große Freude gemacht. Mein Blog ist jetzt vielseitiger und wertvoller geworden.

   The video you posted was the best introduction to the plugin. Two days in and I’m in love with it – perfect for our knowledgebase. I’m using it with the likeawiki template, that allows me to have the TOC in a built in side bar, as opposed to having columns. Thank you! Your project is still helping people.

   Absolutely fantastic plugin, with a very active developer. I simply don’t think I could have made the site I was dreaming of without Yada Wiki. Intuitive, lean, and flawless; it’s hard to believe this is a free plugin.

   This is perfect. Not blotted. Just what i needed no fluff. I like how you can set up the Table of Contents in the widget area. Nice work!!!
