Lock Your Updates Plugins/Themes Manager

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 · 100% 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.

   Thanks Rachel! I’m currently running 4.1.1 but have a few sites with plugins/themes that get a little temperamental when it comes to updates. A control freak by nature, I always got ticked off receiving those dreaded “wordpress core has been updated to..” emails. Now I don’t have to hold my breath when logging in to those sites to perform maintenance. Beautiful job!

   Finally I’ve find this lovely piece of code! Perfect for every project cause I often try to get in touch with respective developers when I fix something or modify a plugin, but sometime it’s simply not possible. Now I can easily lock plugins that has not to be updated and write down a note about it so I don’t have to remember what and why. I love it!

   This is one of those plugins that should be a standard feature in WP. If there are any improvements to be made, they’re beyond me. Cheers!

   I’m always afraid one of the admins is going to update plugins I’ve been forced to alter to get the desired functionality in a pinch. This is exactly what I needed to prevent it from happening.
