AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Unfiltered MU is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Html category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 14 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Unfiltered MU works
Unfiltered MU gives Administrators and Editors the unfiltered_html capability. This prevents WordPress MU/WordPress 3.0 multisite from stripping <iframe>, <embed>, etc. from these users’ posts. Authors and Contributors do not get this capability for security reasons.
The plugin can either be used globally for your entire MU site, or it can be applied on a blog-by-blog basis.
For WordPress MU or WordPress 3.0 multisite only. Regular WordPress already offers this feature and does not need this plugin.
Warning! This is a very dangerous plugin to activate if you have untrusted users on your site. Any user could add Javascript code to steal the login cookies of any visitor who runs a blog on the same site. The rogue user can then inpersonate any of those users and wreak havoc. If all you want is to display videos on your WordPress MU blogs, use the native Embed Support, Viper’s Video Quicktags or any of the other video plugins on WordPress.org.
If you use this plugin your site will be hacked in one way or another if you allow anonymous users on the Internet to create blogs on your site. It’s very dangerous.
