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 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.9.31, 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 year

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

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.

    Is there any way to exclude .@to_twitter_handle messages from showing?

    There are no options to adjust anything in the feed: text size, etc. using CSS doesn’t work. Text size is very small. Basic, not much else.

    The padding of this widget is defined in a CSS-file outside of WP and set to 10px. I want to be able to change this. Therefor only 4* in stead of 5*. It’s been 4 weeks since I have asked for some suggestions on this matter. No answer. Because of this issue (and because design matters!) I need to look for another widget. Bummer.

    The idea is very good. The plugin is easy to use. However it doesn’t really display your timeline on the blog, it only displays a link so users can find you on Twitter. And it’s opened in the same tab.
