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.

Overview
About this plugin
Scholar Publications Fetcher retrieves profile details and publications from a public Google Scholar profile and renders them in a responsive layout inside WordPress.
The plugin now includes an admin settings page, so site owners can configure publication defaults and visual styling without manually editing shortcode attributes.
Key features:
Standalone Scholar Publications admin menu.
Native Gutenberg block for the default WordPress block editor.
Elementor widget when Elementor is active.
Optional Google Scholar profile header with photo, name, affiliation, verified email, homepage, and research interests.
Default Google Scholar User ID, count, order, caching, pagination, and abstract options.
Appearance controls for colors, typography, profile text alignment, width, spacing, corner radius, shadows, and hover motion.
Shortcode attributes still work for one-off overrides.
Fetches multiple Google Scholar result pages, not just the first page.
Supports count="all" to show the full publication list.
Uses WordPress transients for caching.
Includes a responsive layout with dark mode support.
No API key is required.
