This plugin is very simple yet easy to use by providing a valid slug and field to display a specific information.

The field is an array of choices that you can use to display a piece of information such as version or last_updated information. The following fields that are currently supported are as follow: * name * homepage * screenshot_url * preview_url * download_link * downloaded * last_updated * version #### Working with Plugins To display a specific plugin, please use the following shortcode [plugin-info slug=’plugin-slug’ field=’version’] The slug is the name of the plugin that you want to display. The field is an array of choices that you can use to display a piece of information such as version or last_updated information. The following fields that are currently supported are as follow: * name * homepage * screenshot_url * preview_url * download_link * downloaded * last_updated * version Now supports Meta Box and Widget, an extra feature that you don’t need to waste your time with shortcode but shortcodes will be avaiable if you need to grab small information from the API. For this new feature to work properly, you will need to set a theme slug or plugin slug in the Portfolio (Jetpack Portfolio) page. This will save the slug as part of the page and you can use the plugin info widget or theme info widget to display the specific theme.

The easiest way to do this is to create or modify a page that is under Portfolio, you will then see two new Meta Box for Theme Slug and Plugin Slug, use one or other depending on the current page that you are working on.
