World Domination

Adds a summary of the current WordPress market coverage to your dashboard!

Basically screen scraping from the W3Techs website (don’t panic W3Techs, I’m caching the data – your website performance is safe!), this will display what percentage of websites (in total or that use CMS) are currently powered by WordPress. There are even shortcodes so that you can this information into your posts as well!

Now you can keep an eye on how close to world (aka internet) domination WordPress is achieving .

World Domination is a community plugin that follows both WordPress and WordPress VIP coding standards.

Using the shortcodes

There are two shortcodes [wp_total_market] and [wp_cms_market]. Simply add these, wherever you wish within a post or page, to display the latest total or CMS market share data.

In both cases, the shortcode will be replaced by the relevant marketshare figure (WordPress as a proportion of all websites and of all CMS usage). Both will be shown in the format of xx.x%, with xx.x being the relevant percentage.
