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 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.4.21.

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.

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.

    Good thing of plugin is that creates a CPT for slides. Bad thing is images are not fluid and you’re stuck with the plugin’s markup.

    No support from developer, hence I’m changing the rating accordingly. This topic was modified 6 years, 2 months ago by snippet24. This topic was modified 6 years, 2 months ago by snippet24.

    Just to be clear: the button marked “Add New Carousel” really just means “Add an Image”. Just give the image a name and then use Featured image to select the image. You can then use the shortcode to display all the images. If you want your carousel to only use some of the images, you can use Categories to define which images appear in the carousel, like this: [twabc-carousel category=”whatever”]
