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 6.0.14.

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.

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

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.

    This plugin is still a critical addition to the Classic Editor.

    Simple and elegant. I needed a fool-proof solution for non-tech clients who like to float text around images. This is exactly what I needed. Thanks!

    This plugin I’ve missed for about 10 years. Finally I found it by chance. I am totally happy with it. It helps so much organizing and designing longer texts with pictues. It should be included in TinyMCE. Thank you!

    This is one of those ‘why is there a plugin for this’ type plugin. As in this should already be available in the TinyMCE editor by default. A must have plugin for WYSIWYG editors, thanks very much for this easy to install and use plugin 🙂

    Now bloggers don’t have to add multiple enter presses if putting multiple align left images on the same line.
