PluginsPedia reports published data and observable changes. It does not rate plugin quality or safety, infer intent, or make recommendations. These are observations rather than a verdict. How this works

Ownership

Held by oscarssanchez throughout, with no change of ownership observed since daily tracking began on 02 Aug 2026.

Full observed history, including every field transition

Adoption

How widely the plugin is installed, and what the people running it think of it. WordPress.org rounds install figures to one significant digit, so they describe an order of magnitude rather than a headcount.

Very early-stage: fewer than 10 active installs. Too few installs to read anything into adoption. That is a gap in the evidence, not a mark against the plugin.

0 downloads a day over the last 7 days, falling 100% against the 7 days before. Downloads are counted exactly and without a ceiling, so they show movement the rounded install figure cannot.

Daily record

Every field we record, one column per observation. Fields that never moved are named once rather than repeated across every column. A row of identical numbers would be padding.

Maintenance

When it was last released, and how far its declared compatibility has drifted from current WordPress.

Is anyone still maintaining this?

No release in 3,174 days (8.7 years). The last was 01 Mar 2018.
Declares compatibility only up to WordPress 4.9.35, while 7.1 is current. The author has not confirmed it runs on the last 22 releases.
The same account maintains 4 other plugins, and none has been updated in over a year, the most recent on 28 Nov 2022.

A plugin that does one thing correctly may need no changes for years; a long gap is not, by itself, evidence of neglect.

History

Everything dated that this registry holds about the plugin, most recent first. Releases carry the author’s own release date; everything else is dated to when it was observed.

What we know, and what we don’t

Everything on this page in one place, including the gaps, so that nothing here is mistaken for a clean bill of health.

What we know

It has been held by oscarssanchez for all 91 days we have observed it.
It was last released 8.5 years ago (01 Mar 2018).
Its author declares it tested up to WordPress 4.9.35; WordPress is now on 7.1.
WordPress.org reports fewer than 10 active installs.
It carries 1 rating, averaging 5.0 out of 5.

What we don’t know yet

No forum threads were open in the two months we measure, so how responsive its support is cannot be said. One new thread starts answering that.
No release in the 91 days we have been watching, so how often it ships cannot be said. Every further day of silence tells you more.

What can’t be known

Whether the quiet is neglect or a finished plugin. That is the author’s intent, which no dataset records, and a stable plugin can need no changes for years.

Every record on this site, this one included, works under the same limits. We read what WordPress.org publishes about a plugin, never the plugin’s own code, so nothing here says whether a plugin is well built or safe. Install counts reach us already rounded; a change smaller than a band step doesn’t show. We don’t track security advisories yet. For anything older than our first observation we rely on the plugin’s public release log, where one exists. What this registry can and cannot see
