Biggest opportunity: “compare”, “control” and “revise” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 700 of 7.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,770 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.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 9+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.7.39, well behind 6.8.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| compare your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| control your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| revise your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| revision your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| version your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- “compare”, “control” and “revise” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

Update activity
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.
Release cadence

The public count shows “700+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band yesterday and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 800.

Brilliant plugin if you need to go back and trim revision count from say, 10 to 2. Box at foot of each post lets you trash any individual revision(s). Causes no issues with database – unlike Simple Revisions Control which screwed the database and wiped out 30MB of images.

Still works great 6 years later!

This is the first plugin for listing revisions that I found that worked for Pages as well (have tried several plugins that actually worked for posts, not pages). The only thing is that after installation you see nothing in All pages, even the default WordPress Revisions option on the Edit page screen is gone. After setting values in Settings, Revision settings, the plugin works, at least in WordPress 5.2.3 that is the case. So I set all the Maximum revisions to -1 (keep all) and then the revisions were shown per page. Also, in contrast to another plugin I tested, if you set the amount of versions per page, lets say to 2, and you have 5 revisions on that page, after a refresh 3 revisions are gone (really gone, tested). I hope this plugin keeps working, since it is not updated anymore.

Yay! WooCommerce product revisions are tremendously useful which are not included into WooCommerce by default. This plugin fills the gap. Well done!

This plugin is the best, does exactly as described!

Works very well and is easy to set the post type revision options as well as control revisions per post. This topic was modified 9 years, 4 months ago by Luke Cavanagh. Reason: clarify wording
