YOURLS: WordPress to Twitter

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.

   EDIT in 26 Sep 2017: I’m just posting this thread to confirm that it woks well with wp 4.8.1 and buddypress 2.9.1 and bbpress 2.5.14 (select remote in settings, even you have your YOURLS installed on the same host) The difference bethween this plugin and the newer one (Yourls link creator) is that OZH plugin supports creating short links in buddypress forums (bbpress) at fron-end. But the other one does not. This topic was modified 8 years, 9 months ago by Amin. Reason: updating the supported versions

   I loved using this program to tweet my posts with shortened URLs from my YOURLS site, but I was not pleased when a “WordPress to Twitter” program no longer allowed this. You see this message (screenshot) on the Settings section for this plugin. Rename the plugin here if it no longer works with Twitter. Time to find a new YOURLS & Twitter plugin or just write it myself.

   Nice plugin, it would be even better if in the documentation itself was mentioned how to implement it in a subdirectory, took me a while before i found it in http://code.google.com/p/yourls/wiki/htaccess. Works great, thanks 🙂
