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 13+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.5.2, 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.
What its installed base runs

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.

Spent hours trying how to research adding rotating banners in the header of one of my Woothemes. Many plugins allowed me to rotate the code in widget areas but the header was a different issue. Whatever extra piece of code this plugin adds was perfect. Would be nice if the main AdRotate plugin could do this out of the box.

Just what I needed to integrate my Google Affiliate and Linkshare network ads with other banner ads. Easy to set up and easy to implement.

i’ve been using solostream’s wp-davinci theme for a while now, and love the ad placement capability. i just started using adrotate and got a little discouraged when i couldn’t use adrotate short codes in some of the ad placements provided by the theme, plus i didn’t want to customize my theme’s templates. learned about this via a friend, so i just downloaded, installed, and activated this plugin. voila! the ad rotate short codes now can be used just like i can use them in posts, pages, and widgets. nice and simple!
