Removal-risk signals
45/100Maintenance 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 3+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.

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.

This plugin is awesome – thank you so much! It is very easy to use and simple to create a custom template of the block.

Tried single post mode. Doesn’t have any options to select display layout. Doesn’t use featured image. Makes the entire text — excerpt included — a hyperlink with default formatting. Ugly as sin.

Very useful plugin. Technical support is fast and efficient!

With this plugin, you can customise the display for posts and pages lists, just as you did edit with the traditional php template. I was able to control the display/hide of thumbnail images in posts and pages lists within BLOCK! Amazing! このプラグインがあれば、従来のphpテンプレート編集と同じように、投稿や固定ページのリスト表示をカスタマイズできます。 これで固定ページと投稿のサムネイル画像の表示/非表示を、ブロックの中でコントロールできました。すんばらしい！
