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.

Early reviewers liked the badge setup and called it easy, while the recent ones report plugin conflicts, a broken editor, a version number stuck at 0.0, and authentication that still doesn't work.

    The plugin was easy to install and set up but It had conflicts with other plugins i was using. I noticed that it altered my editor removing featured images, categories and tags listings. I don’t know if this was a one off but if this wasn’t the issue i would keep using it.

    Your plugin is constantly appearing as needing an update as it keeps installing as version 0.0 So either you have done absolutely no work on this plugins development or you have simply failed to include a version number update.

    Yaptığı güzel, Ancak Çok hatalı. Örneğin sitemde JetPack için olan erişimi bozdu. Nasıl derseniz, Sağ tık engellemesi için tüm sayfalara javascript kodu ekliyor. ve bu xmlrpc.php dosyasında ki olması gereken tek kodun yanına olmaması gereken bir kod daha ekliyor bu yüzden jetpack erişimi bozuluyor.

    I really like this plugin for it’s unique idea and working as the way it should. But I am badly need some improvements. Currently this plugin only works with Posts and Pages. But I wanted to have it working with all post type specially WooCommerce product and event post type. I am using Events calendar plugin where events frontend should be controlled with this plugin. I think many other users will agree with this, so if there is a way to select some post type admin wanted to work, it would be fantastic. I am waiting for author’s reply on this point. But still this is good.
