 * Hi,
 * Does the “Active installations” number in the page of a plugin refer to the number
   of actually active/in use plugins or does it also count the plugins that have
   been disabled/are inactive? Thanks

 * Hi [@ploz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ploz/), that’s a good question!
   The “Active Installations” number is based on the number of WordPress sites that
   have clicked the “Activate” button on the plugin and is still activated. If the
   plugin is installed but not not activated, it will not be accounted for in this
   number. Note that the number is not accurate to the digit, since it is rounded
   first significant digit.
