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 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.2.26, 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.

    Excellent free plugin to send your emails contacts to SugarCRM or SuiteCRM like I do. Works perfectly for years. Keep this supported, please.

    Fantastic plugin, very useful and most important thing: still works in WordPress. Now I’m using WordPress 5.7.2 and this plugin still works very well! I’ve just one suggestion: keep updated this plugin, please!!! 😉

    Works as good as any paid plugin–without requiring you to add your account credentials. Providing a plugin developer with admin accounts logins for a company’s CRM platform is a disaster waiting to happen. Not saying those premium plugin companies would do anything malicious but hard to warrant the risk when using POST or GET and OIDs with hooks to transfer the data and tying to a campaign keeps the account safe. Word of advice… if you’re getting redirect errors make sure you don’t use hyphens or underscores in the source field ID and select “Enable data forwarding to the success location” in the Pardot form handler.

    I needed to fill pdf forms and email them to users of my site. I am not a php programmer and needed to submit form fields to a C# .Net application that filled in the pdf fields and then emailed the filled and flattened pdf file to the person submitting the form. Forms: Third-Party Integration worked perfectly and I was able to integrate Gravity Forms with my external custom app in about an hour (I had a lot of fields). Please keep this app going and up to date…it is a lifesaver!!!
