Introducing our new lightweight WordPress plugin – View User Metadata!
This plugin adds a simple toggle button to the user edit screen, allowing administrators to easily view metadata associated with the user they are currently viewing. Metadata includes all data attached to a user account. Administrator’s can also delete the usermeta.
This plugin is perfect for developers where metadata is important to view but doesn’t need to be displayed at all times.
Features:
– Toggle to show/hide user data
– Click-to-focus on any row
– Delete a key/value pair

Several things about this plugin: 1) It just works the way it’s supposed to. 2) It doesn’t have any B.S. bloatware, ads, popups etc. 3) What it does have, that I haven’t seen before, is a string change in the plugins.php that creates a link “Need help?” link to an external link. Couple things about that: It’s extremely non-obtrusive, and not-annoying. In fact, it’s right where it’s supposed to be. If you’re looking at that line in the screen, you probably need help with that plugin. It’s real estate the plugin owns. HOWEVER, the user has to see it every time they look at plugins.php. That’s a great idea from a plugin developer pov. It’s unobtrusive, and you HAVE to see it all the time. Anyway, I’m stealing that idea. Oh, the plugin is great too! 🙂
