Biggest opportunity: Swap “inspector”, “meta fields editor” and “custom post meta editor” for “taxonomy meta”, “meta fields” and “term meta”. “inspector” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “taxonomy meta” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “meta fields editor” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “meta fields” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “custom post meta editor” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “term meta” sits at #24 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 →4.1%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 24.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,766 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 2 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.

For development, this has come in quite handy for quickly finding meta keys and values on a particular post type. It is simple and straightforward. I can think of only two things that would make this more useful for me personally: The ability to restrict viewing and/or editing to particular user capabilities and/or user roles A place to see all available meta keys, in order to quickly switch between different post types That said, this plugin is way more convenient than digging through database entries. Many thanks for creating and maintaining this.
