More Plugin Info

Ever wish that the plugins page on your WordPress site had more information about the plugins that you have installed?

You shouldn’t have to open up another tab and search for the plugin on wordpress.org just to find out things like:
When was it last updated? How many ratings does it have? What version of WordPress has it been tested up to?

This plugin resolves that issue- it grabs details about all of the plugins on your site from wordpress.org, and displays them right there underneath each plugin’s description. It also includes a settings page, so you can choose which information you want to be shown.

There aren’t a lot of unnecessary bells and whistles here- this is a secure, clean-cut way to customize the information shown on your plugins page.

Enjoy!
