High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance 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 12+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.7.41, 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 yearHow 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
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’s php processes were consuming 100% of the CPU of a Intel Xeon 4-Core processor running CentOS when saving theme files such as functions.php and header.php. We have verified that it was this plugin and this plugin alone causing the rampant CPU usage.

Hello Alexander, This is a very usefull plugin, working nice with last version of wordpress (3.8). Thanks a lot! Update – Can work with an editor enhancer plug-in: I have tested Code Revisions with Better File Editor and they work together. you have highlighted code and revisions. That is a very good new! With editors enhancer as “CodeMirror for CodeEditor” or “WPeditor”, Code Revisions can not display revisions of edited files in the themes or plug-ins directories. In this case Code Revisions works in a hidden way, because those two editor use proprietary templates. Best regards 🙂

I installed it and saw NO change on any page. There is also no documentation on the web site. Who knows what this is supposed to do and how it works?

This plugin is really awesome, thank you for creating it! I really appreciate that, as I often have to do tweaks on the fly on some projects (on the go etc.). Finally I can reset changes and such. Really well done! 🙂
