High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance 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 7+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.1.24, well behind 6.8.

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.

Gutenberg doesn’t allow me to add <sup> & </sup> even in the code editor but this plugin fills this surprising omission. Thanks!

Despite being the leading plugin for adding Subscript and Superscript to the Gutenberg editor, most of its UI has not be coded in a way to allow translation. A fix has been sent by a member of the community more than a year ago, unfortunately it has not been included by the developer. As it is, this plugin is only of interest to english speaking users.

Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks, guys. Gutenberg offers a few text editing options. For me having a block of code in my tutorials is vital. So thanks guys, for adding it to the editor.
