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

Readministrator adds a “Read Only Administrator” role. Assign it to a user and they can browse the entire wp-admin like an administrator — Settings, Users, Plugins, Themes, content, comments and more — but they cannot change anything. Every write is blocked at the capability layer.

What read-only administrators can do:

  • View every admin screen an administrator can see.
  • Browse Settings, Tools, Users, Plugins, Themes and content lists.
  • Run a read-only export.

What they cannot do:

  • Save any Settings page (core or plugin Settings API).
  • Create, edit, publish, trash or delete posts, pages or media.
  • Add, edit, delete or promote users (including editing their own profile).
  • Activate, deactivate, install, update, delete or edit plugins.
  • Switch, install, update, delete or edit themes.
  • Edit menus, widgets or the Customizer.
  • Moderate or edit comments.
  • Make changes through the REST API (the block editor included).

Known limitations

Enforcement covers core write paths plus the REST API. A small residual surface remains: some third-party plugins that perform writes through their own custom admin-ajax / admin-post handlers, and Network Admin (multisite) screens, are not yet covered. These are on the roadmap.
