Plugin Compatibility Checker

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 · 82% 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.

At the current install trend, crossing 10K+ in roughly 126 days.

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   This is a fantastic plugin that saves a lot of time and prevents problems during version upgrades to PHP and also WordPress itself. We can highly recommend it and it is worth the optional paid subscription.

   The free version gave me a basic idea, but the paid version was way more useful. It caught PHP issues that I wouldn’t have noticed before updating. Glad I upgraded because it saved me time fixing errors later. Definitely more helpful when running sites on newer PHP versions.

   The plugin will only check major-version compatibility (6, 7, 8) without paying $20/month for a service subscription. If you want to try that, go for it. The free version, though, will not tell you much that is useful.

   The plugin checks in free version up to php 8.0+ compatibility. Who needs to know if a plugin is compatible with an obsolete version of php ?

   PCC is very convenient when deciding to update WordPress and PHP versions. With one click of the mouse it will provide helpful information letting you know ahead of time which plugins might cause issues of compatibility. And is especially helpful with Multisite installations that have several plugins being used with various sub-sites. Thank you Dinesh. This topic was modified 1 year ago by q120000.

   The plugin is a great tool I use for new clients to get an overview of versions of the installed plugins, supported WordPress versions and PHP versions before upgrading a site. Saves me time. Thanks! Easy worth 5-stars.

   Hello, I like the concept of using a specific page and would use your plugin if it can also display PHP version supported by the plugins. It is an info you can find for individual plugin in WordPress.org repository but would be nice to have that for all plugins at once ! Eric Collart
