High removal-risk signals

63/100

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.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.4.2, well behind 6.8.

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.

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’ve used this plugin to let the user filter between custom taxonomies associated to custom post: it do its job in an amazing way, also with permalinks and smart urls. Thanks for your job, and good luck!

    The plugin says it is not compatible up to 3.5.1 but I’ve not encountered any problems. A very simple sorting functionality concept for visitors to a WP Site to sort and list posts via specific categories and posts – can’t believe it’s the only one I could find in the plugin repository that could do this? SO thanks a bunch to the developer.
