Increase customer confidence by displaying info about your most recent plugin update

Description

Increase customer confidence by showing your plugin is being actively maintained. With Deployment info for Freemius you can display info about your latest Freemius plugin release on your website.

Deployment info for Freemius adds the [difs_plugin_info] shortcode that can be used anywhere on your website, and will display the latest version, release date, WordPress version and amount of installs of your Freemius powered plugin.

Demo

Features

• Easy to style with built-in CSS classes
• Automatically updated by Freemius webhooks
• Generates schema.org JSON-LD structured data of the SoftwareApplication type (can be turned off)
• Plugin data is cached for maximum performance

Feel free to fork to suit your needs, or make pull requests, making sure base functionality is maintained without having to make changes to the shortcode.

Inspired by Iconic.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I turn the amount of installs off?

If your plugin has a low amount of installs that may not actually work in your favor. You can choose not to display them by adding the show_installs="0" attribute to the shortcode.
