- Long abandoned. No update in 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.8.15.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

Responsive support too.

We process time sensitive orders with employees logging in throughout the world, and this was exactly what I was looking for! Displays the current time in the admin bar, and even updates the time without reloading the page. Not sure why several negative reviews.. works 100% for me.

For us it did not work as anticipated (in the admin bar) It loaded the server time correctly, but a few seconds later it started using the local client time instead. This defeated the purpose of the clock, so i blocked the c2c_blog_time_active_clock filter, and while not dynamic, allows the time to be updated when clicked. Also, adding the seconds has helped. It is a useful tool, and is worth keeping, but only in its modified form.

Works just great.

Works just fine. My only complaint is that the widget header does not appear, and there is no space between it and the next widget (I semi-resolved this by putting a paragraph tag in the “text after” field, but it didn’t quite work. Otherwise, 5 stars for me.

I’m surprised that this hasn’t had good reviews. It works just fine, adds a little clock right by your admin name in title bar so you can always see your blog time. Between having to deal with all the “timing” stuff we need to in WordPress, this little addon is quite nice to have. Thank you.

She works but don’t update (like Ajax) so who need a plugin to do that?

Doesn’t show the correct time.
