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 What Would Seth Godin Do version 2.2.1 as active, updated 5mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.0.
Overview
About this plugin
What Would Seth Godin Do lets you greet first-time visitors with a tailored welcome message — like an invitation to subscribe to your RSS feed — and show a different (or no) message to people who have already been to your site before.
The plugin stores a small cookie that counts how many times a visitor has been to your site. While the count is at or below the “# of Repetitions” threshold you configure, the new visitor message is shown. Once the visitor exceeds that threshold, the return visitor message appears instead.
Inspired by Seth Godin’s 2006 blog post: …in the middle, Starting.
Features:
Separate, fully customisable messages for new and returning visitors.
Configurable repetition threshold — choose how many visits count as “new”.
Choose whether messages appear before or after post content, or only where you place the <?php wwsgd_the_message();?> template tag.
Option to show or hide messages on Pages (vs. Posts only).
Exclude specific post or page IDs from showing any message.
No external dependencies; lightweight vanilla JavaScript.
