Donate through PayPal!

Hi there,

Thanks for downloading one of my plugins. If you like my plugins, please support me by donating a small amount through PayPal.

If you donate even a small amount, that both keeps me enthusiastic and it allows me to keep working on improving my plugins!

Best,
Joost

P.S. did you know about my weekly WordPress newsletter? You should sign up right now!

Most plugin authors host all their plugins on WordPress.org, and though this has huge advantages, it denies them of one thing: easy access to statistics of downloads. Recently, the WordPress team added a WordPress plugin information API to WordPress.org (which is very well documented here).

Using this API I've built a widget that shows up in my dashboard OR can be used as a shortcode, showing me the downloads and the total number and the average of the ratings for each plugin.

You can download the plugin here. To use it, you'll need to change your WordPress.org username the settings.

Once you've done that, it should look something like this on your dashboard:

plugin-downloads-db

Or like this in a post (this is a live view of my own plugin downloads):
