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 Unit Converter version 0.5.3 as active, updated 6y ago and tested up to WordPress 5.2.

Overview

About this plugin

g. g. 5 kilograms”).

The converted measurement can be added in several ways:

  • as a mouse-over, or
  • in brackets after the original measurement, e.g. “10 lbs (4.5 kilograms)”.

It is useful if you use lots of measurements and are writing for an international audience.

Currently Supported Conversions

  • Celsius Fahrenheit
  • Centimetres inches
  • Grams ounces
  • Kilograms pounds
  • Kilometres miles
  • Kilojoules (food) calories
  • Litres gallons
  • Metres feet
  • Millilitres fluid ounces

Note that these non-metric units are in US customary units.

Bugs

  • Converted measurements will always be written in their canonical/long name, e.g. ‘kilograms’ instead of ‘kg’.
  • Cannot handle quoted aliases (e.g. 5′ or 9″) or composite measurements, e.g. 5’9″.

To report any bugs please do so from the plugin homepage.

Plans

  • An options page to configure various aspects of the plugin.
  • Auto-detection for which measurement abbreviation to use for the converted unit (lbs -> kg, pounds -> kilograms).
  • An option to use Imperial measurements as distinct from US customary units.
