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 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.4.21.

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.

    I get this alert in the admin: The plugin Real Media Library is not active (maybe not installed neither) or the version of Real Media Library is < 2.8 (please update).

    Matthias has just resolved a problem for me, which was entirely of my own making! Having encountered the problem, I reached out for some help and guidance. I had a very prompt response, with a simple request for admin access to my site. Matthias very quickly identified my error and fixed it. The entire process was quick and efficient. What is more he merely referenced a link to the documentation I should have followed – no judgement. This is very refreshing experience, and it shows both professionalism and pride in the quality of both product and support. Thank you.
