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 3+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.

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.

    Astonished to find this function now missing from WordPress. It’s so necessary to avoid the decapitation syndrome if anything. It should have been improved and made more accessible/intuitive/draggable like Facebook (ha ha). Thank you for providing this plugin.

    A basic functionality that should have remained in the core of WordPress, thanks to the team for this essential plugin

    Just found out that this functionality was removed in WP 6.3 and this plugin is a must-have. It helps with creating custom thumbnails from the featured image, that are shown in search engine results (and if there’s another way to create them, I have no idea what it is).

    I appreciate WordPress’s desire to be efficient and fast, but it can’t be at the expense of flexibility for the user. I’m glad this plugin exists because it’s very important to me to be able to decide how a thumbnail is cropped. You can’t always just leave it to a CSS rule. Please keep maintaining this plugin so we can keep our sites beautiful and functional.

    “hAvInG cUsToM, nOn-pRoPoRtiOnaL iMaGe sUb-SiZeS iS nOt cOnSiDeReD a GoOd pRaCtiCe” FFS as if loading an extra 150-pixel image is that big of a problem these days, particularly when it’s often the ONLY version of the image that’s called by the theme on a given page. 🙄 The point of “responsiveness” is usability, so removing this functionality from core is actually a LESS responsive approach in cases where the large image loses all of its legibility/visibility/attractiveness and thus value to the page when it is scaled down – for example headshots of people where there is only room for their cropped-in face on small screens. Anyway thanks for releasing this, works great. Please don’t abandon it.

    Don’t know what was the reason to remove this feature. But with this plugin it works again. Thank you.
