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 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.2.39, 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.

    As of January 2018, with WordPress 4.9.1, this still works; it’s uncomplicated and does a basic job, so it’s not a surprise that it does. That’s the rule of thumb: the simpler, more basic, more uncomplicated…the less code a plugin affects, the more likely it will still work even if it hasn’t been certified as usable with you version of WordPress — even if the, ‘this plugin is untested’ message comes up. And THANK GOD it does; my site template doesn’t have the basic favicon feature enabled in the area it is ‘supposed’ to — under site > customize > header > site identity….as I was told later versions of WordPress now have, by default. My template didn’t account for that though, and I’m not going to be changing my template anytime soon. Perhaps never. 😀 So, imo, nobody should have any serious concerns about this plugin. And if they do, they can go insert the same basic, tiny code into their site — via the ‘wp_header’ action hook. But this is far better. 😀 This little plugin is a SANITY SAVER. Honest. Download this little beauty, and save yourself the trouble of sifting through code and praying you don’t break your site with any rewrites. A wonderful, simple, essential plugin.

    No issues at all for me with this WP version in combination with the twenty-sixteen theme.
