Removal-risk signals

53/100

Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.

  • Long abandoned. No update in 4+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.9.16.

Update activity

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

Release cadence

No release in a year

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

Positive Praise

The single review here is a happy one, from someone who needed the featured image in a proper enclosure tag for their newsletter feed and found this plugin did it when others didn't.

    After struggling with my newsletter when creating a RSS feed, I wanted to get the featured image in it. I tried several (famous and well rated plugins) without success; they concatenate the image within the description embedded with HTML. With my email provider SendinBlue, it was all messed up. I needed a distinct tag to retrieve it. That’s what this plugins does: adds the feature image in the enclosure tag. Thanks a bunch!
