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 8+ 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 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.

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

N/A

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.

    1) I cannot make more project (then, what is the utility of “Project Slug” in url? – i’ve removed!); 2) In details i’ve: “Client”, and no way to change in other (author, or any other possible text). 3) Format post type contain only: “Standard, Immagine, Video, Galleria, Audio” – something missed here (eg: “Quotes”). fixed with: [ Moderator note: code fixed. Please wrap code in the backtick character or use the code button. ] .project-client { visibility: hidden; } .project-client > .project-data { visibility: visible; float: right; } .project-client > .project-data::before { content: "Author: "; } 4) article (content) slug cannot be edited (so sad!). then, just need some fix, but can be a great plugin 😉

    That plugin is great for developers, like a little boilerplate. I wished there is more documentation how to customize the portfolio pages. The easiest way to build customized portfolio pages was coding several files like archive-portfolio_project.php for portfolio overviews, taxonomy-portfolio_category.php for category lists and single-portfolio_project.php for the portfolio items. With no documentation it needed time to figure out the correct names. But that was worth the effort.

    This is a great plugin. I used it on a personal project recently and it did exactly what it’s supposed to do. If I had one gripe, it would be that the documentation doesn’t cover how to really edit the output of the CPT as well as I think the average user would like (creating the archive file, single file, etc). Overall, great work with the plugin Justin.

    Plug in has some issues, but if you want any kind of support, it appears to cost $29. And you are likely going to need support since already it shows kinks at a very early stage of very basic execution. Just be aware.

    I like this portfolio plugin very much. It has a very nice two column responsive design and my content looks great in it. I think it would be very nice if it had some basic customization settings, but the the look and feel it comes with is really great.
