How to Use

  1. 1 Enter the slug
  2. 2 Read the activity label
  3. 3 Confirm on support threads and the plugin page
  4. 4 Do not treat a red label as a legal verdict

Features

  • Potentially abandoned / low activity / likely active
  • Uses public last_updated only
  • Small-bucket stale plugins flag harder

Why it Matters

Searchers type “is this plugin abandoned.” We answer with a label and the dates — not a fake certainty.

★★★★★

Looks at last updated and the install bucket. A two-year-old listing with a tiny bucket is potentially abandoned — still verify.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you prove it is abandoned?
No. Authors can ship off-directory. We only see the listing.
What about popular old plugins?
A large install bucket stays “low activity,” not potentially abandoned.
