Removal-risk signals

53/100

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 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.5.20.

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 year
from wp.org release tags

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

Estimated active installs

The public count shows “90+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.

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.

    I really like this plugin, it’s really easy and easy to customise even more if you know css (I decreased the size of the panels.) However, when I am at my last post, the tab for Next Post keeps showing this current post, because it’s the last one. Same with the first post when looking at Previous Post. Maybe add an option for looping, or just add a condition and don’t display the tab if it’s the first/last post? 🙂 Thanks!

    Still works on latest WP, two years after last update. One star less than perfect due to minor quibble about last post activity. Other than that, great!

    This plugin does exactly what it says it will, I think, I don’t speak Spanish. Very simple to use, very responsive and clean. Altering the Spanish text to English is simple and located on lines 163/164 of the floating-nextprev.php file.
