WP Hive | A Better WordPress Plugin Repo

What is this extension supposed to do? I've visited a couple of WordPress-based websites with different plugins installed, but the extension icon remains grayed out and doesn't display any information...

Just installed. Icon is grey = means not working anymore as other commenters say? Can the author of the plugin reply pls?

Doesn't work for me. The icon remains grey, even when I am on a WordPress website.

Very Poor. rubbish. They must tell how to use it. Nothing about very important plugins like bitwarden etc. No result found for most commonly used plugins. Very disappointing extension.

Does not work. Just says 'no plugins found.' Useless.

not work with latest wordpress version! when fixed I will change my review stars! thank you!

Just tested it with one plugin and that was enough to not warrant keeping it. It shows nothing but top scores for the WP File Manager plugin, which vulnerability issues recently plagued the WP community. Yes, maybe 6.9 is GREAT, but versions 6.0-6.8 had troubling security issues. If this is not reflected anywhere then it's really misleading.

Dear Dev, This plugin has so much potential and is just a few lines of code away from reaching it. Please don't look at my comments & ideas as being negative or hateful. I believe that I want this plugin to be the best it can be more than anyone! 😂 Pros: // -- Pro #1 // -- Importance: 10/10 // -- Detail: It analyzes and grades all of the plugins based on information it has. // -- My Notes: I'm a coder and a stats nerd, so I automatically love anything like this. // -- Pro #2 // -- Importance: 78/10 // -- Detail: There is a compare option to stack-up plugins against each other. // -- My Notes: Sometimes we don't know which plugin to pick. This could be the final judge in some cases. Cons: // -- Con #1 // -- Importance: 10/10!!! // -- Issue: It doesn't work from the WP Admin area! That's the only place that myself and most other users browse for plugins, because we can easily install from there in one click. So unfortunately, I had to uninstall it because I never used it. // -- Notes: Sadly, this was the dealbreaker. It should be an easy fix though. You already have the code. You would just have to apply it from the Admin area. Let me know if there are plans to do this so I can keep up with your plugin as this makes a huge difference in how I view your plugin. // -- Con #2 // -- Importance: 7/10 // -- Issue: No option to redirect ALL pages ti WP Hive. // -- My Notes: Again, it should be easy to put this together since you have already coded the auto-redirect to user-specified plugins. You just need a chockbox for the option to be enabled\disabled. If enabled, redirect all plugins to WP Hive. Maybe even ad one non-intrustive advertisement to monetize from all the new page views. // -- Con #3 // -- Importance: 7/10 // -- Issue: No Firefox edition // -- My Notes: About 1/3 of my blogs are managed on Firefox for many reasons, and there is no Firefox version of the plugin available. It's pretty simple for a dev to port his Chrome plugin to Firefox. // -- Sites That Help: Firefox has their own site to test if your Chrome plugin will port over to Firefox with no adjustments required: https://dug.to/firefox-test ...if there is something blocking you from porting to irefox, then it will tell you exactly what it is and how to fix it. ...and once you confirm that your plugin is ready to be ported to Firefox, Mozilla has even provided simple guide to get it done: https://dug.to/chrome-to-firefox Please update me on these if you can. I'm very interested in this plugin's development going forward. Best of luck!
