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 13+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.6.1, 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.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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

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.

    The WordPress Plugin stopped working after updating WordPress to 3.7.1 Used automatic update the plugin worked before the update I run on multiuser WordPress installation with Cloudflare. When I upload images any image it is ruined under upload now and in the plugin management it just says error: No explanation of the error and no data for use on the my.greenqloud.com site. I solved the error myself it was another plugin that caused the problem i will inform the programmer about it now. Incompatible plugin: Flexible Frontend Login
