Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Hey there!

Do you have blogger-brain? We do. We think a lot about our content.

We wonder how well it’s doing, what our readers have to say, is it good enough. But, instead of struggling with analytics, we wanted a simple way of tracking our content’s performance. And what better way to do that then a simple, social-media-like feature to get the job done!

Lo, and behold, – the WordPress Applaud plugin – WP Applaud

Our simple plugin adds a cool “clap” feature on your WordPress blog. (Just like Medium)

For every article, a reader can clap to show their appreciation towards the post. The more the claps, the more they like a post. Think of it as an upvote, a like, or a heart, shown —simply, elegantly, and professionally— as a clap.

Make your blog more interactive, get instant feedback about your posts, with the awesome WP Applaud plugin.

  • Data is stored instantly without reload using AJAX
