Plugin Manager

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 · 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.

   Of all my plugins, this is absolutely my favorite!!! I just installed this on my newest site, a WordPress 5.8.2, and it worked perfectly. This plugin is super simple. All it does is allow you to put labels on your Plugin list. You can give each label a name and color. After you’ve done that, you can sort your plugin list by label. As an example, instead of looking at a list of 20+ plugins, I can click on the ‘Elementor’ label I created and look at a list of ONLY Elementor-related plugins like addons, etc. Or I can click on ‘Forms’ and see all the form related plugins. This plugin is absolutely brilliant! Sadly, I think the developer has abandoned it. And it is, admittedly, a bit clumsy and not terribly pretty. However, it does EXACTLY as it says and if you give it a few minutes to figuring it out… you will love it! If ever the developer comes back, I have a feature request: It would be great if you could apply a label to all selected plugins at once, instead of having to apply labels individually. 🙂

   I like the plugin alot but i have some issues & features request. 1. SLOW – plugin become very slow when lot of plugins & groups (around 100) – group assignment, page loading, etc everything becomes very slow (more than 600 db queries) – fully ajax + one json in database to write/read/update is a way to go i think. 2. WRONG FACTS – if plugins are removed (whether uninstalled or folder removed) facts (total plugins in group,etc) shows figures including those who were once assigned that group but subsequently removed from the website. 3. MULTISITE SUPPORT – single settings accross all sites in network but managed from every site (i was able to do this by making little change in code though) 4. QUICK ENABLE/DISABLE – although different thing altogether but can acompany with this plugin better – functionality like this plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/plugin-toggle

   I am trying it on a multisite and it is a great companion for organising the main plugin list. At the moment I haven’t had any compatibility problem, but I am using WPMU pretty plugin for the sub-sites.

   For me is working without any problem, letting categorize the plugins and activate or deactivate all at the same time… It’s true that from aesthetically point of view is not perfect but it works and it’s free it deserves five stars. Thanks to the author

   The icons in the plugin-list (hide, group, …) are alot (!) too big. This hige icons destroy the plugin-view. I think, thats caused by an wordpress-update. This plugin (Plugin Manager) did not become updates for a while.
