Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance 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 6.0.14.

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 yearHow 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
Est. acquisition value
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.

I love this! Simple, effective, very clean. Saves so much time, wish this were part of WordPress core!

Switching between pages while editing was driving me crazy, this is great! Why isn’t this function a standard part of the tool bar? Just one thought: If a page is set to “private” visibility it does not show in the drop-down menu. A minor thing for me, but perhaps there’s a way to fix it?

This plugin is simple and works, but it only works with standard WordPress content. It does not allow custom links and custom content types.

Downloaded on a production site with fngers crossed (was concerned about js conflicts). Works like a charm. A much needed tool for making edits on large sites. Great job Brett!

I’ve started including this plugin in every client site I build. Instead of having to click / hover over Dashboard and then Pages, you can just choose which page you want to edit quickly! Also, since it’s in the Admin bar, it’s really easy to tell clients where it is, so they too can quickly make changes to their page content.

I know this is my plugin, but seriously guys…if you always have to edit content on your or your clients’ website, you need this plugin. I really hated having to click “Pages” in the sidebar, wait for that page to load and then find the page I wanted to edit so I built this plugin. I passed it around at work and it made it’s way into our must-use plugins for all of our websites. So check it out and please give it a review. Thanks!
