Removal-risk signals

53/100

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 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.6.19.

How 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

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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.

    types in current php and wp versions was causing major drama, this plugin simply solves the problem without requiring configuration expertise

    I remember aThemes had another plugin just like this one, that was working JUST FINE. I installed Moesia theme (maybe for the 50th time in my life), and when I saw the plugin replaced (on the list of mandatory plugins), I was a little bit concerned – but only up to the moment when I imported the demo content – and saw that EVERYTHING works flawlessly. I haven’t yet test plugins’ features manually, like adding new custom types and etc – but I really trust these guys, and I am sure they just did another great job!
