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
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
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.

Installed the plugin and activated it. Instantly crashed backend. Didn’t seem to affect the front end. Unless the plugin gets updated I recommend avoiding it and getting a more recently updated one. This topic was modified 9 years, 6 months ago by dominykaselite.

Plugin hasn’t been updated in 7 months and doesn’t seem to work properly with WP 4.4. I’d ask the author to update or discontinue this plugin.

Please go to Plugins/Add New and search/install the following plugin: Tom M8te” Now what is Tom M8te: “Tom M8te provides useful functions that you can use in your plugins. Such as a nice function for adding social share links and database manipulation functions. The social links link to Facebook and Twitter share links.” bs

I messed up my permalinks when I reinstalled wordpress. When I did that I was only getting 404 redirects….I hated that. I wanted people to get to the original content and this plugin fixed it. Other plugins want you to enter the each rediect……too much work!! This plugin works!!
