Description

Want to display information about any plugin hosted on WordPress.org?

This plugin lets you fetch and display details like version, active installs, ratings, changelog, and more using a simple shortcode. Data is pulled from the WordPress.org Plugin API, cached locally for performance, and automatically refreshed every hour.

Perfect for plugin developers who want to show up-to-date info about their own plugins on their site.

If you find this plugin useful, please consider leaving a review. It helps others discover the plugin and supports continued development.

  4. Add a shortcode like [mpi slug="plugin-slug" field="version"] to any post, page, or widget area.
