Widget Responsive for Youtube

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

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 83% 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.

   Hi, your plugin crashes with another installed plugin “WPFront User Role Editor”. The whole widget area stops working as soon as I want to save your widget. Can you fix that? Thanks in advance! This topic was modified 6 years, 6 months ago by mickdom.

   Wanted to add a video to the sidebar, but the wordpress video widget is simply not customizable and the video i added would go out of frame. With this widget the youtube video i added fittet itself perfectly, no edit/customization needed. Just what i needed!

   I liked the way it was setup. But it crashed all my other widgets. And to fix I had to restore the site. Deleting it did not fix what happened. But if you guys can get it to work on your sites, it’s the bomb of youtube widgets.
