Biggest opportunity: “conditions”, “disable” and “evaluate” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

How it's measured →1.6%
of downloads still active
At least 50 of 3.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,769 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 12+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.0.38, well behind 6.8.

Recent review vibe

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
What its installed base runs

Estimated active installs
The public count shows “50+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band today and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 50.

After all these years of no updates, I’m still using this on my new site installs. It would be great to see this updated, if for no other reason to show it’s still alive and kicking…

Easy to use and really powerful in some conflict situations. Could use a better explanations and examples for conditionals logic…

Could not work out how to use the plugin to disable specific pages due to poor explanations in the interface, and no support was provided.

I have used this for a little while now and just see that I didn’t leave a review, so wanted to make sure I did!

This is a great plugin for deactivating plugins, just make sure you consult the codex to deactivate on selected pages or devices. You can do this trough your functions.php but the beauty of the plugin is that you don’t need to lookup the file names of the plugins you want to deactivate and it saves lots of time when developing. I used wp_is_mobile()to deactivate a plugin on mobile. Thanks for this simple but yet beautiful plugin!!
