# Plugin Directory Stats – Active Versions

 * On the wordpress site in the plugin directory there is a stats tab with the number
   of people on each version of the plugin.
 * Does anyone know how often that is updated?
 * On my plugin page, it tells me that there were 75 downloads yesterday when I 
   posted up version 1.1
 * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/twitter-badge-widget/stats/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/twitter-badge-widget/stats/)
 * However the active versions says thay everyone is either on 0.7 or 0.8. Now I
   appreciate that everyone who downloads does not necessary keep the plugin but
   I’d expect to see more people on versions 0.9,1.0 and 1.1 than the graphic implies.
 * Is it as simple as the active versions is only updated once a month or something
   like that?

 * There’s a lot of server caching going on. The stats is a nice benchmark, but 
   not something to be used for serious data gathering to know for SURE what people
   are using.
 * Also, IIRC this includes people who installed an older version, deleted it, and
   never used your plugin again. Could be wrong.

 * Couple of days later and it’s all upto date. I should be able to tell from the
   metrics if I’m the only person using my own widget. I’m guessing there’s at least
   30 who still recieving updates.
 * thanks for answering Ipstenu
