WordPress plugins frequently become abandoned by their developers, and in-turn, develop security vulnerabilities. If one of these plugins is installed on your site, it will put your site at risk, without any warning or indication. Outdated Plugin Notifier is a lightweight and unobtrusive plugin that helps you stay aware of these situations. Outdated Plugin Notifier monitors your plugins and tells you exactly when each plugin was last updated by its developer. If a plugin has been expelled from the WordPress plugin repository, Outdated Plugin Notifier will display that information as well.
To use, simply install and activate the plugin. There is no additional configuration required. After, open the plugin admin page from your WordPress dashboard and you will see a new column displayed in the table: Last Dev Update. This column will indicate the last date the plugin was updated by its developer. If it has been several months–or years–since the developer last updated the plugin, you may want to contact the developer to confirm the plugin is still maintained. If the plugin is no longer in the WordPress plugin repository, Outdated Plugin Notifier will indicate so on the plugins admin page, and suggest you remove and/or replace the plugin.

Very handy during my annual plugin check.

It does just what it says

To the plugins admin table, adds a new column indicating the last time the plugin developer released an update.

This free plugin allows you to add a Patreon Button under the content to have your users to become your patrons on Patreon easily. It also provides two customizable Widgets that you can use in your sidebar.
The buttons and widgets blend in with your theme seamlessly. You can use the new or old Patreon button or you can use your own button image.
You can customize the call to action text over the buttons or turn them on/off, as well as use your own call to action text. You can disable the Buttons under content if you wish to use only the Widgets as well.
You can enter the default account to be used in buttons in plugin options page.
In addition, all authors will be able to add their own Patreon username in their profile to be used for the Buttons, so the Buttons showing under their posts as well as the Author Widget in sidebar will go to their Patreon profile. This feature can be disabled if you wish, from plugin settings, with “Force Site Button instead of Author” option.
More features are planned as they become available in Patreon API.
You can upgrade to Patron Plugin Pro, add the Patron Content Manager addon and enable powerful content-locking options to serve Patron only content from your own website! Patron Plugin Pro will also allow you to put your patrons directly to patron pipeline instead of your profile. Check it out below:

After install, activate the plugin, and that’s it.
You should fill in the Site Patreon Account in plugin settings page. This is the Patreon account which will be used for buttons for any user who did not put their Patreon account in their profile on your site.
You will find the two widgets you can use in your Appearance -> Widgets section. Widgets are customizable

CodeBard's Patron Button and Widgets for Patreon

This is a plugin i developed after seeing that i needed an easy way to add Patreon buttons to my own blogs. (I write on tech, gaming, politics, foreign policy etc on different blogs i ran).
It worked well, so i decided to release it to public.
Its a very simple plugin for now, just adds Patreon buttons to your site without hassles. Depending on users' needs (That's you!) i may add new features. I'll also add any new useful feature Patreon puts into their api.
Enjoy!



Im using it in my own blogs as well
