How 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

N/A

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.

    Truly helpful and well-thought out tool-collection for advanced users. One minor complaint: the “cookie notice” immediately shows up after the plugin is activated, even though it has not been manually set to “on”. But that can be remedied by saving the respective settings once. Other than that, excellent plugin that I install on every single website I create.

    Useful bundle of different features – think of it as the wordpress admin’s swiss army knife. And great support, too. Thank you, Giorgos!

    Great set of features! Using it on Multisite activated on each domain, and each has its own settings. Tip for those hard to remove elements: Find its CSS selector – in browser right-click on it, select Inspect When you have it, go to Slash Admin “White Label” tab. Enter the CSS in the “Custom CSS” box, Save. eg: I want to get rid of wordpress icons in Admin bar menus div.blavatar { display: none; } Nice. Thankyou Giorgo 🙂

    This is a very useful plugin for Admin customisation with features such as cookies notice, maintenance mode, limit post revisions, custom login logo. Things that I did manually and individually are now in one plugin. I also got very quick response from the author to a warning I was receiving and the plugin was adjusted quickly.

    This is a neat plugin. I wish there was a way to further fine-tune some options but for what it does it does it very well. Easy to use and well thought out!
