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 xiaochen Data Dashboard version 1.2.1 as active, updated 2mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.0.
Overview
About this plugin
Data Dashboard turns your WordPress blog statistics into a clean, large-screen visualization. It reads directly from your site’s own database (cached via WordPress transients) and renders charts with ECharts.
Features
Admin self-check for data capability (database, core tables, cache, theme IP library, mail, etc.)
Optional password protection for the front-end (shared password, remembered 7 days via cookie)
Pick which data modules to show and drag to reorder them
Configurable cache lifetime
Three front-end entry points, all sharing the same password / module / order settings:
Shortcode [xiaodada_dashboard] (drop into any page or post, follows your theme)
Theme page /data-dashboard/ (with your theme header, footer and sidebar)
Standalone page /data-dashboard-standalone/ (fully independent, no theme markup)
Visualization modules: overview, monthly post trend, category distribution, top tags, top comment phrases, visitor province map (China), monthly comment trend, post status, weekly / hourly distribution, posting-time heatmap, yearly comparison, media types, top commented posts, latest posts, comment / tag word cloud.
Upload the data-dashboard folder to /wp-content/plugins/.
Activate “Data Dashboard” in Plugins.
(Optional) For the “visitor province” module, make sure your active theme ships an ip2c/ip2c.php plus a pure IP database (.dat ), for example the xiaochen theme. Otherwise just disable that module in the admin.
Go to Data Dashboard in the admin menu to set the password, modules and order, then save.
Visit any of the three entry points above. You can create or rebuild the two pages with one click under Data Dashboard -> Front-end pages.
