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 Rockon Owl Slider version 2.1.0 as active, updated 2mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.0.
Overview
About this plugin
Rockon Owl Slider is a simple, responsive WordPress slider plugin built on Owl Carousel 2, a touch-enabled jQuery plugin.
Slides are a custom post type, so you create them the same way you create any post. Each slide uses its featured image as the background, its title and excerpt as the caption, and can carry an optional link that opens in the same tab or a new one.
Add the slider anywhere with the [ROCKON_OWL] shortcode.

Usage
