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

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

At the current install trend, crossing 60+ in roughly 378 days.

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

The one recent review is glowing, praising the dashboard toggle for WP_DEBUG and direct debug.log access that saved a wp-config.php round trip while chasing a form upload bug.

   I was battling a frustrating Gravity Forms file upload issue where uploads failed with a JSON parsing error because the server returned HTML. Traditional debugging felt cumbersome. BugTrace – Debug Log Tool made a huge difference by allowing me to instantly toggle WP_DEBUG and WP_DEBUG_LOG and view the debug.log directly from my dashboard – no wp-config.php edits needed! This quick access to the logs helped me find a crucial PHP Notice about a plugin with the remove_dashboard_access text domain loading its translations too early. Identifying and deactivating this conflicting plugin immediately fixed my Gravity Forms issue. BugTrace is a fantastic, user-friendly tool that significantly streamlines troubleshooting. Highly recommended for quickly diagnosing plugin or theme conflicts!
