Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records ACE Editor for WP version 0.7.1 as active, updated 13y ago and tested up to WordPress 3.5.
Overview
About this plugin
php. A third tab is added alongside Visual and HTML modes and you can toggle between the three.
NOTE: Visual Mode tends to eat up most/all of any special formatting. If you want to use ACE I’d suggest disabling Visual mode completely. You can do this easily yourself under Users -> Your Profile -> ‘Disable the visual editor when writing’.
You can also do it for all users and for specific post types only. php for an example.
Not all features work in Internet Explorer v8 and earlier.
This does not work in full screen mode. Yet.

“Tested up to” is directory metadata supplied by the plugin author. WP PlugIndex does not turn an older declaration into a claim that the plugin is incompatible.
