High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance 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 4.7.35, 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.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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.

Very basic, non-customizable newsletter template creator. Inflexible content creator does not allow user to save or mail newsletters. To say this plugin is poorly documented is a gross understatement. It seems the author is sneakily trying to upsell users to paid support by not including documentation. The Custom Newsletter Template plugin is not worth installing. This topic was modified 9 years, 2 months ago by riverdog.

I dont understand how to use this. I can open it in the browser, but I do not see any button or choices for sending email. How do I send emails?
