Removal-risk signals

53/100

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 3+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 6.1.12.

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. annual revenue

N/A

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.

    Does what it says. Nice and simple. Fills a significant gap in Elementor’s image carousel.

    This plugin is really amazing. Just does exactly what it says on the tin. If you are puzzled why the links don’t work on the front end, check first you have selected the link in the carousel to be “Media File” and that you have added the links to each image in your media library. Tested and working on 6.2.2.

    Plugin installed fine, and I can see the field to add the link via the Elementor carousel. But not working on the frontend 🙁
