Database Manager – WP Adminer

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 · 69% 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.

   I don’t use a plugin like this every day. But when you need direct and easy access to your WordPress database… it’s the best! The user-interface is good and logical, and searches are really fast.

   Very handy! I’ve never been a fan of the phpMyAdmin provided by my hosting. Adminer with this integration is so much cleaner. The quick links to common tables are a great touch, saves me clicks every time. Thanks for maintaining this plugin!

   The plugin works great, it opens the WordPress database with Adminer. I will try with define('PEXLECHRIS_ADMINER_HAVE_ACCESS_ONLY_IN_WP_DB', false); To have access to other proxy SQL views. Great work! This topic was modified 8 months, 3 weeks ago by fmarzolo.

   I needed access to database of my clients website for a small change to a specific data but I didn’t have the database access and had only admin access. To access the database I used this plugin to resolve my issue. Thanks to the author of this simple but effective plugin 😍

   I’m the author of Adminer so I won’t review Adminer itself. However, the integration with WordPress is really smooth and I have a great collaboration with its author.
