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.

Notes

If you’re a theme author and want to add support, all you need to do is pass the default credits string through a footer_credits filter.

1. Create a template tag with the default credits and filter:

php if (! function_exists( 'themename_credits' ) ): /** * Theme credits text. com/wordpress/themes/hyalite/">Hyalite</a>' );

echo apply_filters( 'footer_credits', $text ); } endif;

2. Then call the template tag somewhere in the footer of the theme:

> </div> </footer>
