Top 12 Selling WordPress Plugins on CodeCanyon

Plugins are great! They can vastly increase your blog’s functionality without requiring you to know how to code. They also tend to be very easy to install.

But with the immense popularity of WordPress, plugins seem to be everywhere and sometimes it can be frustrating to find the best and most popular plugins.

It’s easy enough to know which of the best free plugins are available. All you need to do to find that out is to navigate to the WordPress.org plugin directory. There you’ll find popular plugins like SEO by Yoast and Akismet as the most downloaded. But what about premium plugins which tend to be far more advanced than free plugins?

Knowing how many downloads/sales premium plugins have is a bit more difficult since there are so many outlets that sell plugins.

That is, unless you know what the most popular, premium plugin directory is. CodeCanyon is the big dog when it comes to premium WordPress plugins, having over 3,400 available.

Here is the current line up of most popular plugins on the CodeCanyon website.
