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 9+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.8.30, well behind 6.8.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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 fixed a few basic bugs to get it working, but then there were more bugs so I gave up. But maybe there’s not many more bugs to fix? Still it’s pretty complex.

    This plugin apparently has not even been tested.

    Sadly this plugin crashed when activated on my test WP installation, which has a few plugins installed but otherwise is pretty clean right now. Sad because the functionality looks very impressive and clearly a lot of effort has gone into development. However I just don’t have time to investigate it further. Really this merits only 1 star, but I’ll give 2 for effort. Here’s the error message (which suggests a basic SQL syntax error – surely not?): WordPress database error You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1 for query ALTER TABLE wp_c2pprojects CHANGE COLUMN datatreatment datatreatment VARCHAR(50 made by require_once('I:\php\wordpress\wp-admin\admin.php'), do_action('admin_init'), call_user_func_array, CSV2POST->add_adminpage_actions, CSV2POST->projectstable_add_status_column, dbDelta

    the only pain in this pluging is the very slow learning curve. I’m thinking of providing the community with a ‘get started in 5 minutes’ tutorial as it is not that difficult at all, if you have time and enough ‘pain’ to get it working for you

    Don’t give up on this one it’s worth the investment to learn how it works. While it may have too many feature and the flow is a bit funky it’s a very powerful plug. For the price you can’t beat it! (tongue deep in cheek) I had a lot of questions and these guys answered them all.

    Hello! I use the plugin Easy CSV importer, but not used this plugin yet. I read the description of the plugin and I think that it is also the powerful CSV importer like the plugin Easy CSV importer. I think that I will not be disappointed, because Ryan is the professional programmer and he knows his work.

    There is clearly a LOT of work gone into this plugin… but the time needed to figure it out is too much… already I’ve spent hours and I ended up deleting it. Simplifying it and making more intuitive would go a long way in making more user-friendly because at the moment its way too complicated.
