AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
WebVTT is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Video category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 1 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.

How WebVTT works
Creates any number of HTML5 elements for uploaded WebVTT files for videos displayed using the [playlist] and [video] shortcodes.
The uploaded WebVTT file names must follow this convention to be recognized:
+ + + + + ‘.vtt’
With each value described as:
<video file name> The base file name of the video file (without it’s extension).
<separator> A normalized single character separator typically a dash - to match the WordPress name normalization pattern.
<WebVTT track kind> The kind of text track. The kind is defined by the HTML5 specification and may be one of:
captions
chapters
descriptions
metadata
subtitles
<separator> (defined above)
<language code> The language of the track text data. This is a lower case 2 character code that represents the language only part of a full BCP 47 language tag. Here’s a listing of available language codes for reference.
'.vtt' The recognized standard file extension for WebVTT files.
As an example, a video file named 'my-video.mp4' would be able to leverage uploaded track files named:
'my-video-chapters-en.vtt' to add English chapters
'my-video-subtitles-en.vtt' to add English subtitles
'my-video-subtitles-es.vtt' to add Spanish subtitles
