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 Ghostline version 1.1.0 as active, updated 6d ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
Ghostline adds cursor motions to text in headings and paragraphs. Select some words and apply the Ghostline format. When a visitor scrolls, a fake cursor operates the text.
When the visitor scrolls back, the motion plays in reverse.
Motions
Move: The cursor drags tilted text into its position.
Highlight: The cursor marks the text. A marker stroke stays on each line.
Underline: The cursor draws a line below the text.
Strike: The cursor draws a line through the text.
Click: The cursor clicks the text. A ring spreads out.
Type: A caret types the text, one character at a time.
Circle: The cursor draws a ring around the text.
Box: The cursor draws a box around the text.
Replace: The cursor strikes out old text. Then the new text is typed.
Features
Works in the core Heading, Paragraph, List, and Quote blocks.
Options for each motion: type, theme color, delay, cursor style.
Works with block themes and classic themes.
Supports right-to-left languages.
Accessibility and performance
The real text always stays on the page. Screen readers do not read the cursor or the decoration.
With “reduce motion” on, the text shows its final state immediately.
Without JavaScript, the text shows as normal text.
The motions do not move the page layout.
The script loads only on pages that use a motion. The main script is about 4 KB (gzip).
The plugin does not collect data or connect to external services.
