Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance 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 4+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.9.16.

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.

What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

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.

Ótimo plugin, obrigado. Gostaria de saber como faço habilitar em somente um tipo de postagem especifica? <font style=”vertical-align: inherit;”><font style=”vertical-align: inherit;”>Outra dúvida é como faço para já deixar demarcado o campo “nunca expira” como padrão ? Pois a expiração é um requisito da minha publicação e não pode ser esquecido(site de vagas de emprego).</font></font> Edit: Sou Leigo em programação mas a questão da checkbox já ficar desmarcada como padrão eu consegui resolver alterando a linha 342 para: <input type="checkbox" name="exp-enable" <?php checked( false ); ?> id="exp-enable" value="never" /> Agora só preciso fazer com que a expiração seja habilitada somente em uma tipo de postagem específica.

Thank you for the plugin. Why it is not working when we choose a time like 10 min. later? Ex. Current time Nov 4 2019 15:00 and set to expire Nov 4 2019 15:10 Post expires right away without waiting for 10 min. 2. question is there a shortcode to echo expiration date on the post?
