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.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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.

    It works. I used it on a staging site with wordpress 5.6.2, woo 5.0.0 and php 8.

    Just installed the plugin exactly as described. (I need to delete all orders from my staging site in order to give access to externals). I found the button to delete all orders in the woocommerce -> status -> tools section. So there I clicked the button, but “0 orders werde deleted”, although there are about 10.000 orders in my staging site (this is also why I need a plugin to delete them). I first thought it may happen because the site was in maintenance mode, I deactivated the maintenance mode, deleted the cache, transients etc. and then tried again: “0 orders were deleted”. As there are no options or anything where I can see why the plugin didn’t work on my staging site (there is also no log), I stand helpless. Will deinstall it.

    Works absolutely fine even with Woocommerce 4.8.0 We use it to delete all orders after copying a production environment to a sandbox or development environment.

    Just tried on Staging site and it didn’t do jack. I’d be weary of anything not updated in the last few weeks. 12 months on this one. Not good folks.

    I used the staging plugin everyone uses to create a staging site. I installed this on the staging site. The option to use this plugin was not even on the live site. I deleted all orders, and all the orders from the live site deleted. I guess its because the staging plugin uses the same database, but it should at least be using the correct DB prefix so as not to touch other installations.

    This plugin is useless if you want to remove orders and all their data from the database. The orders disappear from the dashboard, all right. But all their data is still in the database!
