- Long abandoned. No update in 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.9.31, 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 · 84% 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

Countdown not working via shortcode on page. Fonts from plugin screenshots not available. Can’t save as Daily countdown. Can’t save with day/hours/minute labels.

The plugin works extremely well until few days ago since the last update. But it’s okay, I’ll give it 5 stars because it was great (while it lasted).

At first this plugin didn’t work. I was trying to enter the date in US format in the plain text field for date, which was not correct. But this countdown clock is so beautiful and simple to use that I decided to email support in the 1 in a million chance I would actually get a response back. To my surprise, I heard back from the developer in a day, and he gave me more instructions on how to enter the date. He subsequently proceeded to upgrade the plugin to make the date a calendar picker, and that solved my issue. I’m happy to report I am successfully using this plugin on my page. Thanks to the support folks! Not going to give it 5 stars until they fix their Plugin Homepage link (which is broken) and specify in the countdown entry page that the date is in non-US format (DD-MM-YYYY). The calendar picker went a long way, but not everyone will use it if they can type the date, so the instruction will be important to avoid frustration for others in the future. ina
