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.

Accepted parameters are:

  • avatar ( 1 or 0, 1 to show 0 to hide )
  • avatar_size ( numeric value, default 120 )
  • avatar_style ( square/rounded/circle )
  • avatar_position ( left/right )
  • name ( 1 or 0, 1 to show 0 to hide ))
