Nobody seems to care
This plugin adds many valuable features for site administrators to WordPress Core. I installed and used it on all my sites for years.Since half a year though, there is security issue (CVE-2025-64253), and nobody cares to address it. Clients start to complain about that unsafe plugin, so I had to remove it.

I can’t believe that
I can’t believe anyone gave this plugin 5 stars. Troubleshooting mode will break your site. It disables ALL plugins and it says that this will only affect you and NOT your other site visitors but that is FALSE. When you disable troubleshooting mode all plugins remain inactive! There is NO WAY to revert or cancel this. Once you enter troubleshooting mode you are screwed. My entire site was broken and I had to scramble to reactive plugins one by one.
