High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance 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 9+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.6.30, 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.

I uploaded it to two website (on different hosts) that are both Multisite. First: WordPress 5.2.3 | PHP 7.3.7-1+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+1 | nginx/1.14.0 | MySQL 10.3.16-MariaDB-1:10.3.16 Second: WordPress 5.2.3 | PHP 7.0.33 | Apache | MySQL 5.6.41-84.1 I was expecting a Next button but actually it includes a widget in the sidebar, populated with a drop-down list to select from. I am able to edit Posts, Pages, Projects, and Events (Modern Events Calendar Lite plugin). On the first one I use Divi for everything and it still works fine. Great job, great tool. Until the author updates the version of wordpress you have to upload it but it is worth it.

Cool, I’m the first to review! A week ago my team and I wrapped up a nice size web project and using this plugin to saved us a lot of time. It’s a pain having to go from updating a page only to have to click back to the “Pages” link to access all the pages again. This plug in sits right at the top of your RH sidebar and populates a dropdown menu that allows you to jump straight to the next page or post (depending on what section you’re in). It worked perfectly with Advanced Custom Fields too. The developer of this plugin delivered super useful and I wanted to thank you Nazmul Ahsan. Cheers!
