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 4+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 6.0.14.

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.

    For those wondering why his plugin appears not to work is : //support.duda.co/hc/en-us/articles/1500001499461-Load-Site-in-an-iframe By default, the ability to load your site in an iframe on another site is disabled. We recommend not changing the default unless it is mandatory for your specific site. Sites created before April 5, 2020 are permitted to be displayed in an iframe. To enable the ability to load the site in an iframe: In the left panel, click Settings, and then click Site SSL. Click the Allow site to be loaded in an iframe toggle. or go to your SSL provider and look for (in their settings) etc or: ask them to remove restriction..

    Doesn’t work at all. Upon loading the page that features the shortcode the browser just tries to download the iframe source rather than display it.

    Does not work in WP 3.3.1 and probably not any more recent versions since it was 2 years since it was updated
