Force Reinstall

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

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 · 98% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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.

   We found this plugin a month ago and it’s been insanely helpful for both cleaning off malware and repairing botched plugin updates. The only issue we’ve found is that it can’t reinstall premium plugins whose licenses have expired, but that’s not really the plugin’s fault. Overall, it’s a fantastic tool to have on hand.

   When I add a plugin to one of my WP sites, the last thing I think about is the nag screens I’m going to get. Unfortunately, it seems like I need to start thinking about it more and more, because with every plugin trying to manipulate me into rating it at 5 stars, I’m starting to have trouble seeing the WP admin interface. The plugin does what it does well enough. This may have been a 5-star review… but not only is the nag persistent, it seems to be somewhat broken in the latest version and doesn’t go away. So… you nagged me for my review? Here it is. I hope you got all you wanted.

   Very useful. But it still keeps asking for a 5-star rating and usage collection which is annoying. I now keep it disabled until I need it.
