This plugin adds two columns to the plugin’s page in WordPress’s admin to show when each plugin was “Last Updated” by the developer and when the plugin was “Last Upgraded” on the site. The “Last Updated” column will also show “Plugin not found” OR “Plugin has been closed!” if the plugin isn’t on the repo anymore or has been closed.
The first time you load the plugins page, it may load very slowly if you have a lot of plugins due to many API calls made to WordPress.org in order to retrieve the last updated information.
This plugin makes 1 API call for each plugin installed. This data is cached for 24 hours, unless you manually clear the cache clearing via Admin Menu > Plugins > Plugin Columns.
The idea for this plugin’s functionality and the artwork was by Karissa Skirmont‘s of Profoundly Purple.
