  • Long abandoned. No update in 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.5.20.

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.

    I run this on a website which has a paid premium theme for a music band. I make wordpress websites myself but the drop of jquery support on wordpress broke some of the functionality. What just works works, thank you for the updates!

    The plugin does not have support for jquery-migrate.min.js?ver=3.3.2:2 Which several of my plugins require. Furthermore it should roll back changes when deactivated. This topic was modified 4 years, 8 months ago by Jonathan. This topic was modified 4 years, 8 months ago by Jonathan.

    Fantastic and butt saving plugin. The slideshow on an old site with an abandoned theme broke on updating WordPress to 5.8 due to the jQuery v3 change. No matter what I tried I couldn’t fix it… until I worked out that it was the jQuery version and then found this plugin. With jQuery Manager for WordPress I was able to select and use jQuery v1 and jQuery Migrate and the slideshow started workng again. You beauty. The big clear debug labels in the front end are a nice touch. Thank you kindly. Greatly appreciated. This topic was modified 4 years, 9 months ago by n1ck0.

    The website I help manage and control was experience JS errors which were associated with a updated version of jQuery, I wasn’t able to downgrade that version without the aid of this amazing plugin. It did what was advertised, only took seconds to use and it was able to revert the version of jQuery to 2.2.4 which restored all jQuery functionality of my WordPress site, 5/5 stars.
