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. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records Ditto version 1.0.1 as active, updated 11y ago and tested up to WordPress 4.1.
Overview
About this plugin
This plugin allows you to copy a plugin and (TODO:) theme to a test/sandbox WordPress (local for now) installation.
This plugin is intended to be used by developers/designers who need a quick way to copy their plugins and themes to another (clean) copy of WordPress so they can test their work.
Note: In future versions of the plugin it will support activation and deactivation of the deployed plugin/theme. Currently, target plugin’s code is copied (from the current WordPress installation assuming that that’s the development environment) to a target WordPress test/sandbox site. The plugin must be activated on the target WordPress test/sandbox site.
Why is the plugin needed?
When developers and designs work they work on one instalation they may not necessarily catch some glitches. That’s why it is important to test the work on a fresh installation and also on a WordPress installation that has many plugins.
Demo
Usage
You need to go to Ditto > Deploy > Select the plugin that you want to deploy and then Parent Target Directory of a local WordPress installation. The plugin will be copied in the sub-folder of the Parent Target Directory.

“Tested up to” is directory metadata supplied by the plugin author. WP PlugIndex does not turn an older declaration into a claim that the plugin is incompatible.
