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
MieBadge creates an impossible-to-miss staging site indicator that stays visible on every page of your WordPress site. Inspired by the dramatic mie poses in Kabuki theater that command the audience’s attention, this badge ensures no one accidentally makes changes on a staging environment.
Features
Flexible Visibility: Display on frontend, backend, or both — control each separately
Five Ready-Made Badges: Choose from MieBadge (Kabuki icon), Staging, Mockup, Satire, or Parody designs
Draggable: Click and drag to reposition anywhere on screen; position saved per-user in browser storage
Physics Mode: Optional momentum and bounce when dragging, with adjustable slide intensity (1–10)
Three Graphic Modes: Default logo (5 options), custom uploaded image, or custom text with your own colors
Clickable Badge: Optionally turn the badge into a link, with new-tab support
Explainer Card: Hover tooltip with a custom message and configurable delay, frontend only
Kabuki Design: Red and white Kumadori-inspired default pattern
Perfect For
Staging/development/mockup sites
Client review environments
Multisite networks where staging is needed
Any WordPress install that needs clear environment identification
Satire, parody, or spoof sites that need clear labeling
One Job: Be Seen
MieBadge makes sure you never confuse a staging or mockup site for the live one. Every feature — graphic modes, links, the explainer card — is in service of that one job.
