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

No release in a year

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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.

Hi all :), I was decide to pull out the plugin and contribute to the main plugin buddypress-follow (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-followers/). https://github.com/dzmounir/buddypress-follow-me/issues/5 Buddypress FollowMe was just a fork of Buddypress Follow. Buddypress FollowMe was created because the main plugin wasn’t updated since 2 years. Now, the main plugin is Updated to the last version of Buddypress (v1.7). I invite all users of Buddypress FollowMe to use Buddypress Follow plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-followers/. Please contact us if you have any questions. Thanks you for understanding.
