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.

Overview

About this plugin

Plugins change hands. Most sales are harmless, but some buyers have pushed a malicious update to every site running the plugin they bought. org does not tell you when a plugin you rely on gets a new owner, so the first you hear of it is often the hack.

org once a day and:

  • Spots a change of owner. It records each plugin’s author and committers on WordPress.org the first time it sees it, then tells you if they change.
  • Spots a closure. If a plugin is closed on WordPress.org, for a security issue or any other reason, you hear about it straight away rather than finding out it stopped getting updates.
  • Holds updates until you have checked. A flagged plugin’s update is held back, from automatic updates, the Update button and bulk updates alike, until you press release.
  • Guards WooCommerce updates. WooCommerce no longer holds itself back when your extensions are not marked as tested with a new version. With the guard on, a new major or minor WooCommerce release is not auto-updated until every active extension says it is tested with it, and you can see exactly which extensions are holding it up. Patch releases always go through.
  • Emails you. Alerts go to the admin email, or an address you choose.

Everything runs on your own site. org plugin API.
