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

Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
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.

This plugin used to work, but it hasn’t been updated in nearly a decade, and it doesn’t work with newer versions of WordPress. A question about ongoing development went unanswered, so I guess that’s all the answer you need. This plugin is dead.

Email notfication on updating a specific post is what I need. In the GUI I cannot configure the ID of a specific post where I need the alert so I had to adapt the code. This works for me, now. This topic was modified 8 years, 10 months ago by gotti75.

This plugin has near no settings – you can only select e-mails to which an e-mail will be sent after any post/page change. That’s all.

I have it only enabled on a custom post type. Tried several times…nothing. Really wanted it to work. :/

Works. Does what it says and provides a helpful highlighted email that captures the changes made. Very useful tool for a nonprofit website I created recently where volunteers maintain the content, but staff wanted a simple way to make sure odd things weren’t introduced. Wish it handled custom post types, too. But it is perfect for pages and posts!

It does what it says it does — i like it! My main reason for getting this plugin was, as admin, to see when an article was posted by editor(s) so i could download images for backup. But i’m finding that i really like that editing diff display, editors and i can see exactly what edits we made. Would like it to email for custom post types as well. It did pick up a custom post type on one of my websites, but not on the others. Don’t know if there’s something i need to do in coding on my side to make that happen? thank you!
