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 4.0.38, 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.

What its installed base runs

Share 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.

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.

Most reviewers call it simple and effective for killing plugin conflicts, though the conditional logic is poorly explained, one user got no support, and the newest review notes it's gone years without an update.

    After all these years of no updates, I’m still using this on my new site installs. It would be great to see this updated, if for no other reason to show it’s still alive and kicking…

    Easy to use and really powerful in some conflict situations. Could use a better explanations and examples for conditionals logic…

    Could not work out how to use the plugin to disable specific pages due to poor explanations in the interface, and no support was provided.

    I have used this for a little while now and just see that I didn’t leave a review, so wanted to make sure I did!

    This is a great plugin for deactivating plugins, just make sure you consult the codex to deactivate on selected pages or devices. You can do this trough your functions.php but the beauty of the plugin is that you don’t need to lookup the file names of the plugins you want to deactivate and it saves lots of time when developing. I used wp_is_mobile()to deactivate a plugin on mobile. Thanks for this simple but yet beautiful plugin!!
