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 14+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.3.2, 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.

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.

Mixed Support gone quietPraise

Reviewers like what it does, with ads between playlist videos singled out, but both say emails go unanswered and they're unsure the plugin is still maintained past its first release.

    I have this running on my site, but the question is, is it still been supported? I get no answers to my emails asking for support. Having said that I have been working out as lot of the problems myself and it’s a fantastic program. I love the way it can run ads between videos in play lists! I do recommend it (the plug in is only a door to run the program on wordpress and not the program itself).

    A lot of the posts around this plug-in are kind of dated. Is the plug-in still being supported or was V. 1.0.0 the only version created and shipped?
