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 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.3.34, 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.

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

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.

    I can only see a “Collapse All Rows” button and it’s half overlapped by the field below it. There is no way to collapse individual rows. I’m using ACF 5.6.7

    If you use repeater fields this is a must have for the sanity of your site admins. Docked a star because many people have requested they default to a closed position, but nothing has been done to make it so. Tack this into the last line of your plugin’s js files: $('button.field-repeater-toggle-all').click();

    My client asked for this exact functionality for a repeater field that has a ton of subfields. The plugin works PERFECTLY and has a much more polished UI than I would have had time to throw together. Thank you so much for this!!

    Awesome plugin, seriously. It bugs me when I’m using the repeater field and this isn’t installed.
