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 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.3.34, well behind 6.8.

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

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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.

    Works perfect. Makes the styles visible in the backend and lets the client edit the content easily without working with shortcodes. Thumbs up!

    Just add some buttons on the editor, and a great view of your table you just have to write into it. It’s simple, but great ! Really just what i want. Continue 🙂

    It helps a lot typing a new post/page viewing the same styling that is going to take. And very easy to use. Thanks!

    Works as it should. Thanks! One small issue: as I understood plugin takes background color from “body” class but in my case (Vantage theme from SiteOrigin) post background color is defined by another selector (#main). As result I have gray background color in editor instead of light gray. What can I do to make plugin to take background color from “right” css selector?

    That’s great! I don’t need to click Preview page each 2 seconds. Good work!
