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 4+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.8.15.

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.

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.

Reviewers say it pulls markdown from GitHub and GitLab reliably, including private repos behind fine-grained tokens and SSO, and one asks for more content types like code samples.

    This plugin is a very robust little tool for getting markdown file content into any WordPress page using the simple to configure short codes. It works with the new GitHub “Fine-grained” personal access tokens and easily handles private repos that are accessed with SAML SSO organization settings. It would be great if they are able to add more content types, for example, I’d love to be able to display code samples from Github Python py files.
