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.

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.

How 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

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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.

    Works flawlessly with the LATEST BP & WP. It’s a must have for any BP networking website. This hover plugin is totally cool and saved me a TON of coding time. The source code is well written, commented, and easy to understand. It even show’s you exactly where to add code for more data. <—seriously! You can’t beat that. I was able to add custom code on the fly and my hover popups are as good if not even better than FB. The default & screen shots do no justice to the potential of this hover popup plugin. Please develop this further:) Thanks.
