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 Spindle FAQ version 2.14.0 as active, updated 23h ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.

  • Smart-search phrases are stored with the result count, date and clicked FAQ, with no visitor identifier.

  • Visitor questions are saved as pending posts. Replies are saved as comments with the name, email, IP address and browser the visitor supplies.

  • Questions, private replies and subscriptions are covered by WordPress Export and Erase Personal Data.
