Plugin Activation Date

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

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.

   In October 2025 the plugin will only show you the “Last Activated” date for any plugins you activate AFTER this plugin is installed, but will not show you the date that the plugins were installed if they were installed before this one.

   Yes, I think so 🙂 The code is very simple, all contained in a single class. The hooks are very basic and given WP backwards compatibility policy I don’t see this plugin stop working any time soon and if you allow me the hyperbole, actually it’ll never stop, lol Hail to the king! Great plugin!!

   A nice simple plug-in and still working in 4.8.3! Shows a date when a plug-in was activated, that’s all.

   I’m so glad I found this plugin. I wish I had found and installed it much sooner. Long story short: For anyone even considering installing more than a dozen plugins this plugin here is absolutely essential! It makes it much easier to track down those pesky plugins that break something on your site without you immediately noticing. I have about 50 plugins installed (even though I’m striving to have as few plugins as humanly possible) and this activation date tracker is an absolute life saver! Thank you so much for creating this tool! Most definitely 5 stars from me!

   So simple and so necessary! Why doesn’t WP have this feature built in one should wonder. This gives an alternative to the drastic method of “turn off all plugins”. Now you can backtrack more carefully. Be sure to install this as the first plugin for maximum effect.

   By being able to see when each plugin was last activated or deactivated, it can take a lot of time out of troubleshooting various problems that pop-up, especially when clients mess with their plugins but claim not to have. And as previously stated, it can help you figure out plugin conflicts much quicker. Highly recommended!
