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 3.5.2, well behind 6.8.

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.

    Still says in development and last update was in 2013…. designer must have given up because they don’t reply to anything.

    To get this to work well, I went back to 3.5.2. For some weird reason it wasn’t functioning properly, so I worked on the code and now it works well. At the bottom of the cp-loader.php file, this is what my code reads: /** * Returns the query string of CollabPress values * e.g. task=3&task-list=4 */ function cp_frontend_querystrings() { // grab any query strings that exist if (isset($_SERVER[‘QUERY_STRING’])) { $cp_all_querystrings = ( $_SERVER[“QUERY_STRING”] ) ? $_SERVER[“QUERY_STRING”] : ”; $cp_querystrings = explode( ‘&’, $cp_all_querystrings ); } else { $vars = $_GET; } //set pattern to strip out $pattern = “/^cp|project|task-list|task|view|activity_page/”; $cp_qs_add = ”; foreach ( $cp_querystrings as $cp_querystring ) { if ( ! preg_match( $pattern, $cp_querystring ) ) { $cp_qs_add .= $cp_querystring .’&’; } } if ( $cp_qs_add != ‘&’ ) : return $cp_qs_add; endif; }

    There’s some basic functionality there that makes it promising. But it is not under active development and broken in some ways (can’t delete files?). It also looks terrible out of the box (without customization). With some work this could be a very nice plugin to use, but it is not there yet…

    Attempted to utilize collabpress in 2010, found it to be unworkable missing key features of project management. Thought I might reexamine the plugin (June 2013) however still missing key features and the user interface is rather clunky. As an example: No Milestones Parent ToDo lists show no easily identifiable master due-date for child-tasks.
