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.

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

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.

    After searching about an hour for a plugin to edit the internal options I finally found this and it just works and does what it is intendet to do. Thanks

    I tested all the similar plugins. Option Inspector (also very nice & simple) WP Options Editor (has all the features, but somehow ugly) Options Pixie (no editing in free version) Clean Options (oldest and obviously not maintained) This one is the best and simplest. No need to over-design here. It lacks screenshots here and that is probably the reason no one discovers it.

    Simple and straight-forward! It does exactly what it’s supposed to, and it’s a lot easier than going in through myPHP etc! Works with the newest WP 3.8!

    I was recommended this plugin by josh lobe, the developer of the mighty ‘Ultimate TinyMCE’ plugin, to fix a problem i was having after installing the wordpress 3.5 update. When editing your parts of your WP database this plugin does exactly what it says it does.

    Hey, my friend. Haven’t heard from ya in a while. I hope all is well with you! I’ve been recommending this plugin to some of my people using Ultimate Tinymce to help with options in the database. They LOVE it. I’ll send them by to rate and comment on your plugin as well. Thanks for making this!! It has made my life as a developer MUCH easier… and the clients LOVE IT TOO!!
