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 12+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.6.1, 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.

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. 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.

    Love it, works perfect…the CSS box on each page is a SMART little feature, and I definitely automatically install this plugin on EVERY WordPress project I start…clients always end up wanting little page-specific tweaks, man, much easier. A+!

    It seems like it wont output the CSS in the custom field generated by this plugin. I am using Genesis framework and not much customization done yet. I’d be willing to change my review if it is fixed. Looks like a great plugin.

    Just because a plugin hasn’t been updated, doesn’t mean it doesn’t have value or that it doesn’t do exactly what it sets out to do. If you need a way of adding custom CSS to a post or a page, than this plugin is exactly what you need.

    For my customers it would be easy if they could use a dropdown box to select a snippet and insert this in the custom css.
