You publish plugins or themes on WordPress.org. TrackPluse puts their numbers where you already work: a widget on your WordPress dashboard, refreshed through the day with figures from TrackWP.<\/p>\n\n
For each plugin and theme you choose, the widget shows:<\/p>\n\n
Enter your WordPress.org username and every plugin and theme on your profile is listed, or search WordPress.org and add others, as many as you like at once: a rival's, or one published under another profile. The widget shows the five most installed by default; set how many in Settings \u2192 TrackPluse, up to all of them.<\/p>\n\n
The WordPress.org stats<\/strong> block, and the The WordPress.org stats list<\/strong> block, and the Your server fetches the figures and keeps them for six hours. Your visitors never contact TrackWP, and nothing is loaded from another site for them. A link to TrackWP appears under the figures only if you turn it on.<\/p>\n\n Everything here works without signing up. If you want more, TrackWP<\/a> also tracks where your plugin ranks for each search on WordPress.org, alerts you when that or anything else changes, and simulates what would move you up.<\/p>\n\n This plugin gets its figures from TrackWP (https:\/\/trackwp.com), a service that records the WordPress.org plugin and theme directory every day. It can't show anything without it.<\/p>\n\n What is sent and when:<\/strong> the WordPress.org username and the plugin and theme slugs chosen in Settings \u2192 TrackPluse, when the dashboard widget needs fresh figures or the settings page shows their names and icons; and the slug, username or slugs set in a \"WordPress.org stats\" or \"WordPress.org stats list\" block or a Who provides it:<\/strong> TrackWP.

[trackpluse_stats]<\/code> or [trackpluse_list]<\/code> shortcode, when a page with it needs fresh figures. Figures are kept for six hours, so each set of slugs is asked about at most a few times a day. The request goes to https:\/\/trackwp.com\/api\/public\/v1\/stats and carries nothing else: no personal data, no visitor data and not your site's address. Like any web request, it shows TrackWP your server's IP address.<\/p>\n\n
