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. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →

WP PlugIndex currently records Relative Links Fix version 1.3 as active, updated 16y ago and tested up to WordPress 2.9.

Overview

About this plugin

WordPress bloggers will sometimes copy headlines from a WordPress-generated homepage and paste them into the post-editing window. In Firefox, this has the unfortunate result of converting absolute urls into relative ones. com converts the permalink for this article:

html

…to a relative link:

html

This creates broken links when the post is viewed on the archive page and RSS feed. The links will also be broken for subscribers who receive posts via email.

Enter the Relative Links Fix. This plugin will replace relative urls with the proper absolute urls every time you save or publish a post. If you use WordPress and can’t shake those copy-paste habits, this is the plugin for you.

As always, donations are appreciated. I promise to spend them exclusively on soda (the creative fuel that powers developers everywhere).

“Tested up to” is directory metadata supplied by the plugin author. WP PlugIndex does not turn an older declaration into a claim that the plugin is incompatible.
