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 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.9.31, 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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

This plugin does not even have a field for easy date entry. I hope it’s a student’s job. So good luck.

Leider zeigt er mir nur das Alter des Authors (Admin) an, andere Personen zeigt er nicht an. Hätte gedacht das man mehrere Personen anlegen kann und deren Geburtsdatum hinterlegen kann, welches dann per Shortcode ausgegeben wird. @tschinkes – Tobias Kraft Vielleicht gibt es ja eine Änderung? ——– You can only show the authors age (Admin).

Désolée je ne parles pas anglais. Cela serai parfait si on pouvait mettre le shortcode dans un widget comme par exemple Aboutimizer… Je ne sais pas faire ! Merci I’m sorry I do not speak English. This will be perfect if we could put the shortcode in a widget such as Aboutimizer … I do not know how! thank you
