Plugin Detective – Troubleshooting Conflicts

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 · 95% 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.

   This plugin makes finding plugin conflicts super easy and quick. I’ve used it several times to troubleshoot issues on client sites, and it worked great every time. It’s a huge time-saver, letting you avoid the hassle of deactivating and checking plugins one by one!

   Installed and activated, and i got a 403 error in NGINX. I was able to resolve the 403, but this led to a new issue, “Error establishing a database connection.” I spoke with a programmer, who said “this is not something we can fix as its the way the plugin is written. The database connection IS working properly, so the plugin is altering the method in some way, which is breaking it.” Seems that I’m not the only one with this issue. I sure wish Support would respond with a solution.

   I really wanted this to work but unfortunately it just sent me to an Apache “Forbidden” page. Maybe it has a conflict with Wordfence or Solid Security. This topic was modified 1 year, 9 months ago by Steve Manes.
