of downloads still active

At least 10K of 305.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,771 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

    Encore un plugin qui promet mont et merveille et qui ne fonctionne pas sur tous les navigateurs et pareil sur téléphone, donc je le désinstalle et supprime mon compte, juste inadmissible de faire des plugins comme celui ci.

    For me it is perhaps the best plugin for webpush: for woocommerce it is inimitable, with notifications per product available, with a reduced price or on offer! Even for posts it’s the best: push real-time notifications, with statistics, and front panel for visual notifications to guests of the latest published posts! Thank you for your great work!

    I have raised this issue over 3 weeks ago via email, and nobody responded to me, so here I am making this extremely serious issue public. I have noticed on my 404 reports that there are still many requests (200+ over the last 5 days) being made associate to your service:wp-content/plugins/webpushr-web-push-notifications/sdk_files/webpushr-sw.js.php View | Redirect | Delete   200     2024-09-03 13:38:49 I uninstalled Webpushr many months ago; why does it still leave residual code and still run scripts and redirects on my site? This is completely unacceptable and needs to be resolved ASAP. This topic was modified 1 year, 10 months ago by sociobrightwp.
