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.

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.

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. 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.

    I’m a noob and might have done something wrong but I don’t get anything like the screenshot – the settings menu is not user friendly in the least and is unusable.

    I can’t understand why something like this doesn’t exist already. A great idea and nice implementation, if only it actually worked. Save theme doesn’t actually seem to do anything. Only the original theme shows in the customise options. Good luck to the developer of this I would love to see a functional version of this

    One click on this plugin hosed my installation and all my pages were blank. Luckily, once I deactivated the plugin everything went back to normal.

    i Have installed the plugin. Went to customized, found the color scheme tab but when i click it, the content where one would see the color palette is empty. Please help!

    The reason I am giving this plugin a five star is because I think this plugin is going places. It is still at the early stages of development. The developer is keen to improve it and make it friendly for basic users. I am really looking forward for the next updates.
