AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Post Descriptions is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 6 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +High average rating (5.0★) signals consistent merchant satisfaction

How Post Descriptions works
What does it do? Post Descriptions lets you attach short notes or descriptions to posts and pages — ideal for internal reminders, content planning, or small to-do’s. Use it solo or with your team to stay organized directly in the WordPress admin.
How does it work? Adding Post Descriptions
You can add a description in two ways:
1. From the full Edit screen
2. From the Quick Edit option on the posts/pages overview
Viewing Post Descriptions
Descriptions are visible:
1. In a dedicated column on the posts or pages overview — with a customizable column title
2. As a post state — the small bold label next to the post title
Post State Toggle
By default, post descriptions are not shown as post states (the bold label next to your post title). You can enable this in Settings > Post Descriptions. If enabled, longer descriptions might clutter your view — you can toggle it off again in the settings.
