Removal-risk signals
51/100Maintenance 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 20+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- No tested-up-to version. The listing declares no "Tested up to" version.

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
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.

At an upgrade to WordPress 4.7 (and PHP 5.6, I can’t tell which), my WordPress plugin to Zenphoto (i.e. MyZenAlbums) ceased to work. As an alternative to recoding another plugin, I decided to see whether a Flickr plugin would show the images from the Zenphoto RSS feed. This plug does that job well. I tried out some other Flickr plugins as alternatives, but those are customized more specifically to Flickr. Sometimes simpler works better! (I use Flickr for a photo-a-day, but Zenphoto for the bigger archive of photos).
