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 7+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.0.27, 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.

I have three fields, one a dropdown select. Documentation was unclear how to handle that, and after an hour trying different possibilities, was still unable to send data from Contact Form 7 to Mailchimp.

Obviously, the person that wrote this is very smart, but his documentation is written from his level of expertise, not mine.

Only takes 2 minutes to setup! Great use! Would love to see the language field populated in Mailchimp user entry upon subscription add. Thanks a lot!

Works great. However, the shortcodes should be included in the WordPress FAQ or installation instructions. It’s annoying to have to Google to find out what the shortcodes are so that I can integrate it into the form properly.

Thanks a lot for making this plugin. Only one of its kind. Might want to rename it so that it gets indexed for the right keywords.
