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 11+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4, 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.

How 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.

    This is what happens when a programmer tries to fix conceptual shortcomings of a different programmer, but neither really have a clue. The plugin attempts to overcome the unbreakability of post titles by inserting HTML styling markup right into them. This creates more problems than it solves, i. e. all such titles become unreadable in all the backend views. Be forewarned, that uninstalling the plugin will not remove such markup. You will and up removing it menially.

    The description is correct, it will not work with blog posts until the next version. I would really like the next version to come out soon . If it comes out by November 1, I would donate $5 to the developer (and change my rating to 5 stars). I promise. Thank you.
