Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Aartian Groundswell Connector version 1.4.3 as active, updated 3d ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
Groundswell writes articles for your business and publishes them to your website. This plugin gives Groundswell a safe way in:
A private token, made on your site, that only Groundswell holds. You can make a new one at any time from Settings → Groundswell.
It works on hosts that remove the standard login header (many budget and LiteSpeed hosts), because the token travels in its own header.
Articles are published under a real author you choose (“Publish as”), with their category and featured image.
Groundswell can update an article it published, but it can never move it to a new address.
The plugin does nothing until you paste its Site URL and token into your Groundswell account.
External services
com). It is needed so Groundswell can publish to your site.
What is sent and when:
Groundswell calls your site. Once you have pasted the token into Groundswell, it calls this plugin’s REST routes ( /wp-json/groundswell/v1/... ) to check the connection and to publish, update or remove the articles it wrote. Each call carries your token.
Your site answers with: your site name, its address, your WordPress version and this plugin’s version (connection check), plus the address, status and author name of each article it publishes.
Your site downloads pictures from Groundswell. When an article comes with a picture, your site downloads it from the address Groundswell sends, so it can become the article’s featured image.
No visitor data is collected or sent. Nothing is sent before you connect the site in Groundswell.
