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 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.5.33, 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.

Its a pitty but the plugin is neither maintained nor working anymore. Thank you for the service all these years. The one star is only for the people who dont read the reviews otherwise it was a 5. This topic was modified 3 years ago by Byron Iniotakis.

Installed and ran through tests of all codes, and it is working for comment forms. Cannot speak for bbPress or buddyPress, as I do not use either of them.

I essentially created my WP site to do away with having so many various BB accounts. So to help build up some content I copied and pasted my old BB posts into WP posts. This plugin allowed me to do so without the tedious task of reformatting all the BBCode.
