Removal-risk signals

51/100

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 9+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • No tested-up-to version. The listing declares no "Tested up to" version.

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.

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.

    The moment I activated it, it caused a fatal error on my site and I had to FTP in to delete the plugin. (WordPress version 6.4.3)

    Super fonctionnel. Merci ! En revanche, la barre de progression est triste et moche. Préfère une barre flat design, que nous pouvons modifier la couleur. Se serait mieux. Great functional. Thank you ! However, the progress bar is sad and ugly. Prefer a flat bar design, we can change the color. Would be better. This topic was modified 9 years, 5 months ago by bgtbbox.

    UPDATE: Turns out it is indeed possible to assign different weights to different fields. So, I’m correcting my rating to 5 stars! 🙂 After having done a bit of customization I’m pretty happy with this plugin. The only reason I can’t give it 5 stars is because assigning the number of percentage points for each existing profile field is very rudimentary. I mean, every percentage field gets the same percentage and if, for example, I wanted to assign to one field 15% and to the other 25% (instead of giving both fields 20%) that can’t be done with the current version. All fields have to have the same percentage in the current version. So, it has some room for improvement there.
