More Plugin Info

Description

Ever wish that the plugins page on your WordPress site had more information about the plugins that you have installed?

You shouldn’t have to open up another tab and search for the plugin on www.ads-software.com just to find out things like:
When was it last updated? How many ratings does it have? What version of WordPress has it been tested up to?

This plugin resolves that issue- it grabs details about all of the plugins on your site from www.ads-software.com, and displays them right there underneath each plugin’s description. It also includes a settings page, so you can choose which information you want to be shown.

There aren’t a lot of unnecessary bells and whistles here- this is a secure, clean-cut way to customize the information shown on your plugins page.

Enjoy!

NEW: WP CLI Support- plugin data can now be manually updated by running ‘wp more-plugin-info sync’

Handy tool!

Pretty good! Pity it is not popular and not actively maintained.

Very useful

I would only suggest some better formatting of dates and download numbers for better readability and also having the amount of active installs as in the WP repo.

Any updates coming?

Hello! This seems like a great plugin, it’s a pity it has so few installs. I was wondering if you actively maintain it and release updates for it in the future… Also, do you think you can add an option for the dates to display it in text form, instead of just numbers, for example “14 November 2017” instead of “2017-14-11”? Please let me know. Thanks!
