High removal-risk signals

63/100

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 7+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.2.26, well behind 6.8.

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.

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.

Reviewers say it does one job well, collapsing and expanding long lists of subpages, and it's still working fine on recent WordPress versions for most of them, though one German review reports it not running on 5.5.3.

    Works without any issues for me in WordPress 6.4.4 I added some custom backend CSS (via the Code Snippets plugin) to style it with the eye/visibility icons and semi opaque descriptions for a more intuitive user-experience: add_action('admin_head', 'custom_admin_css'); function custom_admin_css() { echo '<style> /*-------/ Plugin: Admin Collapse Subpages /-------*/ body.wp-admin .column-primary .expand_link a:before {content: "\f530"; opacity: 0.85;} body.wp-admin .column-primary .expand_link a.minus:before {content: "\f177"; opacity: 0.3;} body.wp-admin .column-primary .expand_link a:after { content: "Subpages hidden"; position: absolute; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 10px; height: 12px; opacity: 0.85; margin: 3px 0 0 5px;} body.wp-admin .column-primary .expand_link a.minus:after {content: "Click to hide subpages"; opacity: 0.3;} body.wp-admin .column-primary .expand_link a:hover:before,body.wp-admin .column-primary .expand_link a:hover:after {opacity: 1;} body.wp-admin .column-primary .expand_link a.minus:hover:before,body.wp-admin .column-primary .expand_link a.minus:hover:after {opacity: 0.6;} </style>'; }

    I’m using this plugin and it’s a godsend. Just install and view your Pages section in your backend Administration area. You can expand/collapse all, or click on individual page headings and the usual menu of all the sub-pages below expand. I’m using v6.0 +1

    I am managing taxonomy ‘brand’ and page with this plugin. for taxonomy terms,I added a new line JS file,the code like:jQuery(‘.acs-hier.taxonomy-brand .actions’).append(catLinks); also I change some Style on parent element or son element,such as background-color,border,font-size,display:none,etc the code like: jQuery(this).addClass(‘has-sub’) little change, more effect. save much time for me. thanks!

    It’s even better in combination with Simple Page Ordering, and works fine, despite both plugins acting on the same interface. Thank you 🙂
