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.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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.

    I expected a simple plugin, but it’s actually quite feature-rich while still being very intuitive. Setup took less than 5 minutes and everything worked right away.

    Super happy to have found this plugin. We are shocked it’s free, given all the features and its versatility. We created our changelog, dropped the changelog block on a page, toggled some settings, and boom! Our changelog is beautiful, searchable, filterable, linkable, and more.

    I have several plugins for sale and use Easy Digital Downloads to list them. I have individual product pages for each plugin and have long wanted a way to display an elegant changelog in one of my FAQ sections. This plugin fits the bill perfectly. This plugin integrates seamlessly with Easy Digital Downloads (EDD), including its software licensing system and readme changelogs. It utilizes the EDD download changelog feature when you edit a download. It’s important to update this changelog with each version of your software. The plugin offers a convenient block that allows me to select my EDD download, and the changelog is automatically populated in a beautifully formatted presentation. One neat feature I like is its badges. For example, if I start a changelog entry off with “Fixed,” or “New.” One thing I wish this plugin had was dynamic readme parsing (e.g., when you host the EDD readme elsewhere). Thanks for the plugin. I wish I could share screenshots here. The changelogs are beautiful. And they provide valid proof that a plugin is indeed being updated.

    When Ryan, owner of Pine Digital, introduced me to the Changelog as a Service plugin, I was amazed. This plugin helps me display changelogs in an elegant manner with beautiful color-coded badges to indicate new additions, fixes and improvements. A further bonus is the ability to publish changelogs to the ChangelogWP site for improved reach. Changelogs are a must for every plugin builder to maintain and boost their visibility across direct visitors, search engines and LLMs. This plugin makes it incredibly easy to add beautifully-presented changelogs using shortcodes or blocks on your site.
