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 JoeBucci Restock Alerts for WooCommerce version 0.2.0 as active, updated 2mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.0.
Overview
About this plugin
This plugin adds a simple “Notify me when back in stock” form to any out-of-stock WooCommerce product page. Shoppers enter their email, and the plugin automatically emails everyone on the list the moment you mark the product back in stock.
Also includes a Restock Waitlist page under WooCommerce in wp-admin, showing you exactly which out-of-stock products have the most people waiting — real demand data for deciding what to reorder first.
0):
Automatic “Notify me” form on out-of-stock product pages, with a live count of how many other shoppers are already waiting
Works with simple and variable products — each variation is tracked and notified separately
One email per subscriber per product — no duplicate signups
Admin waitlist view showing pending-subscriber counts per product, plus a “Mark back in stock” one-click action that flips stock status and triggers notifications immediately
Admin settings page to customize the email subject/body/from-name — no code required
“Send test email to yourself” button so you can preview the exact email a subscriber would receive
Outgoing emails are wrapped in WooCommerce’s own branded email template (same look as order-confirmation emails)
One-click, no-login unsubscribe link in every email (GDPR/CAN-SPAM friendly)
One-click CSV export of your full waitlist
Spam protection via an invisible honeypot field and a disposable-email-domain blocklist — no Google reCAPTCHA account or API key needed
Fetches a fresh security nonce immediately before the subscribe form submits, so it keeps working correctly on sites using a page-caching plugin
“My Account > Restock Waitlist” tab so logged-in customers can see and self-manage every product they’re waiting on, not just via a one-off emailed link
Optional “notify on backorder” mode for stores that sell backordered items
Admin “Notified” history tab showing exactly who was emailed and when, in addition to the live “Pending” view
Opt-in “delete all data on uninstall” setting (off by default, so your waitlist survives an accidental delete)
WPML/Polylang-ready
Lightweight — one small database table, no external services required
