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

Full observed history, including every field transition

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.

Very early-stage: fewer than 10 active installs. Too few installs to read anything into adoption. That is a gap in the evidence, not a mark against the plugin.

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?

  • Last released 17 Dec 2025, 254 days ago.
  • Declares compatibility only up to WordPress 6.9.7, while 7.1 is current. The author has not confirmed it runs on the last 2 releases.
  • The same account maintains 3 other plugins; the most recent update to any of them was 19 May 2026.

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.

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

  • It has been held by jakubkanna for all 27 days we have observed it.
  • It was last released 8 months ago (17 Dec 2025).
  • Its author declares it tested up to WordPress 6.9.7; WordPress is now on 7.1.
  • WordPress.org reports fewer than 10 active installs.

What we don’t know yet

  • Nobody has rated it. The first rating that arrives shows up here.
  • 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.

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

Similar plugins

Plugins that share this one’s tags and talk about the same things in their own descriptions. Distinctive tags count for far more than broad ones. Sharing hover means something, sharing woocommerce does not, and a plugin that never mentions the subject matter is left out however its author tagged it. Among close matches, more widely installed plugins are listed first. This is a grouping rather than a ranking of quality.

Grouped from the tags each author chose for their own plugin, so the grouping is only as good as those tags.
