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 Show Widget Area Names (SWAN) version 1.0.18 as active, updated 11y ago and tested up to WordPress 4.1.
Overview
About this plugin
If you get confused by which widget area a widget is attached to when browsing your site then this plugin can help.
The plugin shows the widget area names on non-admin pages and posts. This adds the widget area title to widget $params[‘before_widget’]. This will only display for the edit_posts capabilities.
You must use print $params[‘before_widget’] in your widget definitions to view the area name.
If the widget area is empty then no widget area name is displayed.
Recently added a jQuery toggle to the admin menu bar to quickly hide/show the widget area names. See +/- swan link in admin bar.
