Easy to install. Makes plug-in page much more informative.
by eei·3 years ago
I installed it an immediately saw plug-ins that were not being supported by their authors by the listed versions under the plug-in names. It immediately helped me to know which plug-ins might be causing me issues now and which are likely to cause me issues in the near future – because they’re no longer being updated by their authors to the newer versions of WordPress.
Very helpful

Thank you for this plugin!
Easy to use, but sometimes displays incorrect version info
by Deborah Edwards-Onoro·7 years ago
Does what is says, displays the WordPress version compatibility for each plugin on your site. It’s easy to view the version info.
However, there are some instances when and older WordPress version is displayed, even though the plugin is compatible with the most current version of WordPress.
When you notice a plugin has an older WordPress version displayed, select the “View Details” option for each plugin to confirm the info with the repository.

Not accurate…
by crzyhrse·8 years ago
Not accurate in a lot of cases, checks readme files, not WordPress Depository… What’s the point if the info cannot be trusted to be accurate…
Thank you 🎐

Needs to have less bugs in Query Monitor plugin for me to be able to let it up all day, but it’s a must have plugin. No problem in letting it ON.
