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 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.0.38, well behind 6.8.

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

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.

    Pretty good, straightforward plugin, displays an artist or label’s discography on any page or post via shortcode. Very easy to set up and install. Note: It took me a while to figure out what was causing a big chunk of space to appear below my footer. On my theme, the plug-in created a Flash player on the bottom of every page, something about Sound Manager 2. It wasn’t loading properly, not even sure what the purpose of it is. I was able to rectify this problem by going into the plug-in editor and removing all code in the beatport-discography-shortcode/soundManager.js file. Problem solved, shortcode still works fine.
