High removal-risk signals
75/100Maintenance 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 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.5.33, well behind 6.8.
- Reviews souring. Recent reviews read meaningfully worse than older ones, an early sign of decline.

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.
What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

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 works, but it needs this tweak as noted by a previous reviewer: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/still-receive-the-e-mail?replies=3

<UPDATE> There seems to be an error in the code (not sure how the other reviews had it work without this fix). It’s a simple fix, just go into the “Edit” function of your plugin and fix the code there. Here is a helpful link: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/still-receive-the-e-mail?replies=3 I’ll give it 5 stars since it works after the fix! </END UPDATE> Agreed that there are a lot of terrible plugins floating out there for this simple problem, but then when I installed, activated, and tested, the new user still received an e-mail notification… Any help would be awesome! Will immediately change this to a 5 star if it can be resolved!

After trying a few hacky functions floating around out there, this plugin did the trick. No settings, just activate and you’re good to go! Love the new secure password feature, but on some site you want control over the emails being sent…thnx for this!
