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 13+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.5.2, 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.
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.

It still works perfectly. Nice work.

I had 93 junk comments left over from old pages on an old template that I deleted. I’m not sure why the comments were left behind but since they weren’t attributed to an existing page I couldn’t select them to delete them but this plug in worked like a charm and took care of it for me! Thanks for saving me the headache and mess of trying to delete them all from directly inside my actual database.

Especially when you are flooded with unnecessary comments. Thanks for the effort

This plugin is exactly what I needed. I had over 3,000 pending comments that were all spam and needed to be deleted. A major flaw of WordPress is that you can only delete 20 at a time. Sorry but I don’t know anyone who has that kind of time to waste. Within minutes I was able to install and active this plugin, go to the comments section, click pending comments and DELETE ALL – hallelujah!
