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 7+ 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.

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.

    This seems like a poorly thought out addition, in that it duplicates email addresses in the subscriber list depending on how many groups they belong to. Documentation is very difficult to find regarding associating groups with categories of posts.

    This is a great feature that makes the Email Subscribers plugin even better.

    I use Group Selector plugin with Email Subscriber. But when reader try to subscribe message display unexpected error occured. With only Email subscriber plugin they were able to subscribe succesfully.

    This adds some nice groups functionality to the email subscribers plugin, it can also be useful for creating another “Test” group for testing newsletters before sending them, thanks!

    This plugin works with the Email Subscribers plugin and is excellent for what it does. I wanted a way to allow a user to subscribe to multiple lists at one time. This plugin allows that through the use of a shortcode based on your configuration in the Advanced Form menu area. It’s easy to set up and so far has worked flawlessly. The developer is extremely helpful and responsive. I highly recommend this plugin. I wanted to customize some of the on-screen text beyond what the Advanced Form configuration allows. The developer pointed me to a language customization plugin called Loco Translate. By setting up a plugin translation from English to English I was able to easily customize the text I was interested in. I suggest the developer add this to the FAQ.

    This plugin is idiotic. It has a title Email Subscribers Advanced Form but the plugin is not advanced whatsoever. I can’t add new fields, can’t preview the form, can’t change the labels for the fields, can’t add styles. What is so advanced about it? Please explain to me.
