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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   Easy to use and does exactly what I would expect without any unnecessary functionality. It is nice to have a way for updating user profile pictures and not having to use a Graviar or something else. I hope that this plugin will be maintained going forward as it is greatly appreciated.

   Admins who need to add profile photos for users who do not have avatars can do so with this “plain vanilla” plugin, nothing fancy, just plain functional. Scroll down to the bottom of the user settings to see the new option.
