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 9+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.5.33, 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.

Release cadence

No release in a year

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.

    特定のカテゴリのアーカイブ一覧を出すタイプのプラグインではなく、現在表示しているカテゴリに準じてアーカイブ一覧が表示されます。 これと言って文句はありませんし、現段階必要としていませんが、全体設定を設け トップページでは カテゴリに所属しないアーカイブ or 全てのアーカイブ or 表示しない と選択出来ると便利かもしれません ———————————————————————————– 訂正 以下のように評価しましたが、致命的バグ発見 私のWPでは日付表示が崩れてしまいます。おしいっ! 表示 2016年11月日 ( 1) 2016年11月日 ( 1) 2016年11月日 ( 10) 2016年11月日 ( 1) 2016年11月日 ( 1) 修正: class.category-archives-model.php 88 NG $format = preg_replace( '/[dDj,]/', '', get_option( 'date_format' ) ); OK $format = preg_replace( '/[日dDj,]/u', '', get_option( 'date_format' ) ); この部分は日付フォーマットが数字の場合問題なく動きますが、◯日というフォーマットやカスタムフォーマットが指定されている場合、日付にまつわる付属の接頭辞/接尾時を取り除く手段が不明で、本例文は日本語の ◯日 のみ決め打ちで対応。本来は day 일 とか無限に対応すべき項目がある。こちらはローカルフォーマットは別途、ユーザに設定項目で [Y年n月] として指定させ、ここではWordPressの日付フォーマットは呼ばないほうが得策かもしれません こちらはv1.0で修正して頂きました★感謝 class.category-archives-model.php 95 NG $date = sprintf( '%d-%s', $result->year, $wp_locale->get_month( $result->month ) ); OK $date = sprintf( '%d-%s', $result->year, $result->month ); ここでは月のデータをローカライズした書式で取得すると、ローカライズされた◯月という値が取得されその後、mysql2dateのしようと合わずにご動作します(こちらは明確な誤りデス) 修正後 2016年11月 ( 1) 2015年11月 ( 1) 2015年10月 ( 10) 2015年9月 ( 1) 2015年1月 ( 1) ちなみに、年単位の表示については目を通していません、ご参考ください This topic was modified 9 years, 8 months ago by ssmx.
