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 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.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

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 Broken updatesPraiseCompatibilityOnboarding

Fans call it a favorite, while others hit a WordPress update that broke uploads and editing, since fixed by the developer, and one reviewer couldn't find the upload or insert buttons at all.

    Document Repository is awesome! One of my all time favorites.

    3.5 WordPress update broke this plugin. It is no longer possible to upload or edit documents. Useless until it gets fixed. Updated to 3 stars in anticipation of an update to the plugin. UPDATE: developer released an update that fixed this. Works in 3.6 although there are a couple quirks still. Should be just fine unless you’re really customizing it.

    It didn’t show any buttons for inserting document into post or pages. I could not see an upload button. The tags were not available to select in the add document screen.
