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 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.3.34, 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.

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 generated the tag using the email name field to check for a match and it will not work. Every form submission with unmatched email addresses went through with no errors. I tried tweaking the tag to see if it can be resolved but it doesn’t work. Not sure why it wont work but I will have to deactivate this plugin and delete it. This topic was modified 9 years, 6 months ago by Hydro1313. Reason: Spelling error correction

    I really like this very efficient and easy plugin. Some code should be added to get the full features : – A RED text saying that the email is wrongly written. – Style completely similar to the email field of CF7. Hope this helps ! And thank you to Author to adapt his code more or less as described, or better… (Code bellow is partially given by KliffBlack) ———————————————————- ———- Here is the code and where to put it ———- ———————————————————- <<<< Getting the message about wrong match >>>> 1. Open the php file –> Named : contact-form-7-confirm-email.php –> In folder : […]wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7-confirm-email-feild (yes, f e i l d, this is a typo from the author of the plug in) 2. Add the filter: –> What : add_filter( ‘wpcf7_messages’, ‘confirm_email_messages’); –> Where : at line 24 (for example, must be with the others) 3. Add the function it refers to : –> What : //add error message function confirm_email_messages($messages) { $messages[‘invalid_confirm_email’] = array( ‘description’ => __(‘The email addresses do not match.’), ‘default’ => __(‘The email addresses do not match.’), ); return $messages; } –> Where : at line 109 (for example, must be outside an existing function. <<<< Making the confirm_email input field look like the email one >>>> What : $class .= ‘ ‘.wpcf7_form_controls_class( $tag->type, ‘wpcf7-text’ ); Where : at line 50 This topic was modified 9 years, 9 months ago by darlio.

    I submitted below comment on an open support request that is about 2 months old: This seems like it would be a really nice plugin if the author would maintain/fix it. I am NOT a coder, but I waded into this because I really think this sort of validation is valuable. I found the comment by aswitahidayat to be correct. There was no message in the code for invalid_confirm_email. Digging back into a much older support thread, I found this: add_filter( ‘wpcf7_messages’, ‘confirm_email_messages’); function confirm_email_messages($messages) { $messages[‘invalid_confirm_email’] = array( ‘description’ => __(‘The email addresses do not match.’), ‘default’ => __(‘The email addresses do not match.’), ); return $messages; } After some fiddling around, I determined where to insert the “add_filter…” and “function…” pieces. Plugin seems to work now with WPv4.5.2. What I don’t understand is why the author says he fixed this some 8 months ago, but the above fix is not in the plugin I installed today. And the same problem is reported 2 months ago. I would love to up this rating to 5-stars, and I will if I become convinced that the author is properly responding to issues and committing fixes he says in support are done, but in fact are NOT in the plugin when downloaded.
