User reviews

This extension just displayed a warning on a plugin page in the WordPress repository -- which is exactly what it's supposed to do. A link was included for more information. Thanks to the devs for making this available! If possible, it would be great if you could make similar warnings appear when we find plugins in our dashboards, before installation. That would save us from needing to check the repository page for warnings.
