Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
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.

Even though this plugin is not updated for several years it works just perfect. We use it on our support pages so clients can see their own IP address when we need it.

The plugin worked as expected without any issues giving accurate information about the site visitors IP address, should be a great solution for those that need it.

UPDATE: Developer fixed problem so I am changing my 1-star review to 5-stars as it is working great now. Thank you! —- Original Review —- Can not activate the plugin. When I try I get the following message: The plugin does not have a valid header.

I thought I would create a simple plugin,that does what its meant to do, it’s simple and it works. Working on a few issues to do with ‘shell_exec()’ but apart from that it works.

As promised, the plugin has been revised/updated and returned to it’s roots of being a plugin designed to show one’s IP and doing it correctly and effectively. Glad to see we were able to get things sorted! Thank you so much for listening and working with feedback, author! Updated to 5 stars for doing what it’s meant to do, simple and well! ORIGINAL REVIEW ( 1 Star ) Created support topic over 2 months ago. https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disabled-shell_exec Even went so far as to attempt to contact him via his personal site to ensure he was made aware of this problem and support topic via http://www.keith-griffiths.com/contact-me No reply at all. Creator boasts “Any suggested updates I’ll consider in each build.” but can’t be bothered to provide support for an issue that has arisen specifically from this plugin. 1 star, because no lower rating is available, due to errors and nonexistent support.
