Install count doesn't reflect chosen adoption

30K+ installs but only 6 reviews: about 2.0 per 10,000 installs, where plugins people pick from the directory typically sit above 10. The install count also held flat for months and then climbed several tiers within weeks, the shape of a distribution change rather than organic adoption. Install bases built through bundling or preinstallation look like this. That is a legitimate way to ship software, but it means the install count says little about how many users chose this plugin.

Not a judgment of the plugin itself. We keep it off install-based leaderboards because the count isn't a popularity signal here.

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.

    I’ve tried many plugins and hacks in order to hide wp’s version to wpscan and nothing worked…until I found this very cool plugin 🙂 This topic was modified 1 year, 8 months ago by sami_ch.

    amazing plugin, however you need to review your code, as it throws some errors in shell using wp cli. check below: PHP Warning: Undefined array key “QUERY_STRING” in /home/****/****/domain.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/disable-everything/disable-everything.php on line 48 Warning: Undefined array key “QUERY_STRING” in /home/****/****/domain.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/disable-everything/disable-everything.php on line 48

    Installed this to disable RSS feeds. But while I was at it I also disabled a bunch of other things the plugin offered, e.g. user enumeration, author archives and some superfluous meta tags. Works nicely, thanks!
