Biggest opportunity: Swap “database”, “mysql” and “sql” for “database manager”, “donate” and “wrapper”. “database” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “database manager” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “mysql” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #19. “donate” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “sql” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #13. “wrapper” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →5.3%
of downloads still active
At least 20K of 376.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,767 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 4 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

What to do about it
- Swap “database”, “mysql” and “sql” for “database manager”, “donate” and “wrapper”. “database” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “database manager” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “mysql” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #19. “donate” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “sql” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #13. “wrapper” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

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.
