WordPress plugins
11 free plugins, due for an overhaul.
This domain's previous owner published eleven free plugins on WordPress.org between 2016 and 2020. 8 are still listed, with 103,398 downloads between them, but none has been updated for recent WordPress releases. Himal.Run plans to modernise them.
None of these has been re-released yet. Until a plugin's page says otherwise, don't assume the WordPress.org version runs safely on a current site.

3 plugins
Removed from the directory.
These can't be installed today, and each needs a full rewrite before it can return.
Custom User Gravatar
A plugin that allowed site owners to set custom default avatars for users who had none, replacing the standard generated gravatar image.
Facebook Feed Widget
A widget that displayed a Facebook page feed in a sidebar or footer, with the page name and latest posts.
Twilio Private Call
A privacy layer built on Twilio: masked phone numbers so buyers and sellers could call each other without exchanging personal numbers.
Next
