Removal-risk signals

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 3+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.

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. 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.

    Tenía un problema con las imágenes en los feed. Había probado varios plugins y mientras en un blog normal no me daba problemas, en mi web, con SSL, Páginas incluidas en el Feed (o no, esto daba igual), era meter un plugin de este tipo y me rompía el feed. Con este plugin todo funciona perfecto. Gracias. P.D.: No lo abandonéis.

    Me sirvió para lo que buscaba, añadir al feed la imagen destacada aunque no apareciera en el cuerpo del artículo para poder utilizarla a través del canal RSS de IFTTT.

    This plugin does only one thing, but it does it really fast and smoothly. It adds a thumbnail at the beginning of a feed item content. The thumbnail links back to the content, so it can be read at the original webpage. It is perfect to use to prepare feeds to send mail notifications through MailChimp-like services.
