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 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.7.35, 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.

Attempted to archive a post, instead it was just deleted with no recovery option offered. I deleted and removed the plugin but to no avail the post was forever lost in the “archive” that could never be seen.

I used this plugin in a couple projects last year and it worked perfectly! I needed a way to archive some pages/posts from being listed on the backend, but I didn’t want to delete them. This plugin fit the bill. I was attempting to use it on another project, but unfortunately I get this error: Warning: Creating default object from empty value in /home/example2015/public_html/wp-content/plugins/archive/archive.php on line 386 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/example2015/public_html/wp-content/plugins/archive/archive.php:386) in /home/example2015/public_html/wp-admin/post.php on line 233 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/example2015/public_html/wp-content/plugins/archive/archive.php:386) in /home/example2015/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1178 Are there plans to update this plugin to be compatible with WP 4.1 soon?

I just moved from Blogger to hosted WordPress and don’t like the Archive at all, I think it should be able to show the Title of your blog posts instead of just the dates so people will have an easier time looking through your blog and finding what they want to read.
