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 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.4.34, 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.
What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

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.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Alex Furr10.5y ago
By default, the wordpress comments page shows ALL comments for every post type. THat would be OK if you could filter by comment post type which it doesn’t. Therefore, this plugin was exactly what we were looking for. Thanks for taking the time to write it! I would have had to write my own from scratch! One improvement suggestion – add a Settings > Comments by post type admin page that shows all custom post types with a checkbox (ticked by default) allowing admins to hide the comments on a particular post type. There are some occasions where you don’t need comments and for whatever reason don’t have access to modify the post type settings to disable comments. Thanks again! Alex
