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 10+ 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.

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. 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.

    I just discovered this monster widget yesterday for BuddyPress like the developer monster widget. It is extremely useful. Thanks you Mathias & Mercime for this plugin.

    Thank you for the awesome plugin @mercime. Just tested it and loved it. Very useful for testing themes for BuddyPress compatibility and checking the presentation of widgets.

    Thanks @mercime for this plugin. It’s now easier for theme designers to get all BuddyPress widgets to show up in the sidebars of their choice so that they can adjust their design! Great work.
