- 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.
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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

I can not get emails to be registered in the second list. I use shortcode [mailchimp Optin=”2″] but it doesn’t matter because all subscribers are automatically registered with the newest list in mailchimp. I have tried to enter the unique mailchimp ID for that list instead the number of the list but steel the sam issue. To bad, because everything else works.

I tried to contact developer but contact form on site just says “Too Long Message” no matter what you type. Yes this plugin works, but if you go to mailchimp and add a new list, all your shortcodes on your website need to be changed. If you have 1 list – your shortcodes will be [mailchimp optin=1], now add a new list at mailchimp and this shortcode needs to be changed , or else it will go to the new list, not the original one. I have multiple lists. I added one and I had to go back and edit all the shortcodes since the optin # changed. It needs better handling of lists – some array that maintains the order (maybe by mailchimp key?) so when adding a new list at mailchimp, it would not affect existing shortcodes. And, it’d be great if there were improved look of optin boxes. They do not contain submit buttons and that can confuse users. It is just a box with the input fields for name/email, but you have to hit ‘Enter’ to submit as there is no submit button. I’d love to be able to modify easily the form look too 🙂 thanks k
