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 →

Overview
About this plugin
Create your own category-controlled ‘Top Tip’ to display next to relavant posts.
Display you favourite top tip next to a post with the same category. If you have more than one tip in the matching category the chosen top tip will be a random selection from all within that category. It’s also possible to specify the top tip by id in a shortcode.
An optional feature is to add a link to another post containing further information about your Top Tip.
