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 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 year

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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.

    If you use the TinyMCE editor instead of Gutenberg, this quite simply is a must have. It gives you all the needed tools out of the box to set up the editor as you so desire.

    As an avid TinyMCE user and plugin developer, I found very this useful. It actually is very basic stuff and nice to be able to extend some features, or disable some! Note: Maybe fix the URL’s in the admin? People who do not use this would get lost, easily. Change: http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/Configuration:block_formats to https://www.tinymce.com/docs/configure/content-formatting/#block_formats Thanks!
