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 Post Type Archive Descriptions version 1.5.0 as active, updated 3y ago and tested up to WordPress 6.3.
Overview
About this plugin
Enables an editable description to display on post type archive pages. Show the description with WordPress’s the_archive_description() function that also displays taxonomy term descriptions. Will work automatically with many themes, including most default WordPress themes.
Translations: Archive descriptions are translatable via Polylang, WPML (affiliate link), and qTranslate-X.
The Events Calendar: The archive description is automatically added above the Events Bar when using the latest templates from The Events Calendar. Filter the location of the description or disable it entirely with the ptad_tribe_template_before_include filter.
