Archival record

This plugin no longer returns data from the WordPress.org plugin API. The figures below are the last known-good observation, frozen on 23 Aug 2026. WordPress.org does not publish a reason when a plugin is closed, and none is inferred here.

PluginPedia reports published data and observable changes. It does not rate plugin quality or safety, infer intent, or make recommendations. These are observations rather than a verdict. How this works

Ownership

Held by IagoMelanias throughout, with no change of ownership observed since daily tracking began on 02 Aug 2026.

Full observed history, including every field transition

Committing accounts

Read from the plugin’s public release log, so these predate this registry. A committing account is not an owner. Thirty accounts commit to WooCommerce and it has never changed hands.

This registry did not observe a transfer; it read these names off a public log. Whether that reflects a change of ownership is not something the directory publishes.

Adoption

How widely the plugin is installed, and what the people running it think of it. WordPress.org rounds install figures to one significant digit, so they describe an order of magnitude rather than a headcount.

Small but established: 100+ active installs. Enough sites to show it works in the wild, too few for adoption to say much on its own.

2 downloads a day over the last 7 days, steady against the 7 days before. Downloads are counted exactly and without a ceiling, so they show movement the rounded install figure cannot.

No ratings on record, so there is no sentiment to report.

Daily record

Every field we record, one column per observation. Fields that never moved are named once rather than repeated across every column. A row of identical numbers would be padding.

Maintenance

When it was last released, and how far its declared compatibility has drifted from current WordPress.

Is anyone still maintaining this?

  • No release in 2,217 days (6.1 years). The last was 10 Aug 2020.
  • Does not declare which WordPress version it has been tested against. A field the author sets themselves, so it is left blank rather than reported wrong.
  • IagoMelanias publishes no other plugin in the directory, so there is no wider activity to compare against.

A plugin that does one thing correctly may need no changes for years; a long gap is not, by itself, evidence of neglect.

History

Everything dated that this registry holds about the plugin, most recent first. Releases carry the author’s own release date; everything else is dated to when it was observed.

Entries marked from the release log predate this registry, and daily observation began 02 Aug 2026. They were read from the plugin’s public SVN history after the fact, not watched as they happened. Everything else was observed directly.

    Removed from the WordPress.org directoryThe plugin stopped returning data from the plugin API for three consecutive daily passes. WordPress.org does not publish a reason when a plugin is closed; none is asserted here. The last known-good snapshot is frozen below as the archival record.

What we know, and what we don’t

Everything on this page in one place, including the gaps, so that nothing here is mistaken for a clean bill of health.

What we know

  • The plugin stopped returning data from the WordPress.org API on 23 Aug 2026.
  • It has been held by IagoMelanias for all 22 days we have observed it.
  • It was last released 6 years ago (10 Aug 2020).
  • Its author declares it tested up to WordPress 5.5.20, which is current.
  • WordPress.org reports 100+ active installs.
  • It carries 6 ratings, averaging 4.5 out of 5.

What we don’t know yet

  • No forum threads were open in the two months we measure, so how responsive its support is cannot be said. One new thread starts answering that.

What can’t be known

  • Why it was closed. WordPress.org publishes no reason when a plugin is removed, and does not publish one later.
  • Whether the quiet is neglect or a finished plugin. That is the author’s intent, which no dataset records, and a stable plugin can need no changes for years.

Every record on this site, this one included, works under the same limits. We read what WordPress.org publishes about a plugin, never the plugin’s own code, so nothing here says whether a plugin is well built or safe. Install counts reach us already rounded; a change smaller than a band step doesn’t show. We don’t track security advisories yet. For anything older than our first observation we rely on the plugin’s public release log, where one exists. What this registry can and cannot see
