High removal-risk signals

63/100

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 12+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.7.0, well behind 6.8.

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.

    At last… managed to find a decent image editor that’s easy to use and works flawlessly with the new Adobe Creative SDK API. THANK YOU!!

    This plugin is almost perfect. It needs two things: 1. it needs to output photos to 1600px 2. Clone stamp tool would be awesome! This way I can remove stuff from the background and clean up the photo Then I would gladly give it 100 stars.

    Hi, It seems there is an issue with the option page, nothing appears to be used. Once fixed it could be a really awesome plugin!

    This deserves a 5 star review. I saw no reviews and took a chance, and it paid off great. It is very simple and works awesome. Just install, set up the API (easy, and free!). Then when on the media library page, you can click any photo and edit. Great tool for clients that don’t have the ability or know how to use Photoshop or similar tool. If you did not like it, I am not sure why. The best part is the software is off nice so you don’t have to worry about update compatibles. It sends the image to Aviary via lightbox, you edit and save. Again, 5 stars.
