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 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.
- 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.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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.

This plugin no longer works, it creates a critical error on the website and makes the whole website become unreachable. Please please update this to be compatible with the current WordPress version. I will edit this rating to 5 stars if it gets an update and is working again. Thank you This topic was modified 2 years, 11 months ago by aevisia.

I am looking for this since so many years… maybe before than webrings was a good way for linking and SEO 😉

I haven’t set up any other sites in my ring yet. But, I do remember when webrings were popular and I’ve missed that community which came from having them. Thanks for adding this plugin to the WP directory. I had a look at your site too. Read the post about working with a new plugin to create a directory. I’ve looked at a lot of plugins for that too. I ended up with Link Library, free and a lot of features I can work with. Also, a bookmarklet for adding links which is really nice!
