WP-DBManager

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

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. 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   I use this along with a Windows program called Backup4All on my server to create regular backups of my WP instances to Amazon S3. It’s also easy to do an instant db backup and then zip up the site folder with the db inside on the server if I’m doing something risky. I wanted something that was simple, affordable and logical and found this one best after testing many others. Thanks heaps!

   1st, I was able to target the files I wanted to clean. I would like to add just be careful what you remove. Then I was able to reinstall a program and it worked. Not sure the tecnical reasons why it worked but it did. Thank you!

   From version 2.80.7 the menu is visible again without activated theme and plugin editor. old Since version 2.80.6 only works with activated theme and plugin editor.

   I have been using this plugin for years and its working fine so far. I’m wondering why it’s not getting any updates?! It updated a year back, but it’s supporting the recent version of WordPress 5.7.2 (soon 5.8), and it’s working fine. My worry is due to compatibility issue it may give problem while restore, and it may be data risk. Hope the plugin author will update the plugin and make it compatible with current version of WordPress. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the author. Its really simple and easy backup restore and with a lot of options, especially no confusion in the settings. The plugin is worth more than 5 star. Thank You Giri
