Removal-risk signals

53/100

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 4+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.9.16.

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.

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.

    It more-or-less does what it says but, without updates for 3 years and some PHP errors (if you run in on PHP8), I’d go a different route. Much safer to do your calculations on ACF fields in your own code than rely on a plugin that’s obviously been abandoned. The “maintainer” should probably pull this one from wordpress.org.

    If you want to fix the plugin to work on the front-end you will have to rename the /wp-content/plugins/calculated-fields-for-acf/admin/assets/calculated-fields-for-acf.js to ml/wp-content/plugins/calculated-fields-for-acf/admin/assets/calculated-fields-for-acf.min.js The plugin wasn’t working on the front-end because the calculated-fields-for-acf.min.js wasn’t load because it doesn’t exist.

    I’ve wasted hours trying to get this to work again. My entire proposal system is dependent on it, but the last two versions rendered my estimates worthless. I reached out weeks ago and was simply ignored. If there was another plugin out there, I’d jump right in.

    I’m impressed with this plugin because it runs perfectly on the backend.. but it’s very disappointing because it can’t work on the frontend
