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 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.5.33, 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.

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. 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.

    When logging out of wordpress, it automatically redirects to http://www.freeguestpost.com/app/userfiles/foodbiz.jpg Very irritating.

    I have worked on several sites and content publishing, i think the content provided are unique in which are rarely found on article sites. Also it has a good keyword index and is best for Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Also the plugin would not compromise security of the wordpress blog on which others are using XML-RPC for remote publishing. Two thumbs up for the creator of this plugin.

    Yep, I’m rating my own plugin. The main reason this plugin was developed is because I couldn’t find any other plugin that could do what I wanted with guest posts. I wanted to open up my WP blog and have original, relevant guest posts come to me. And the ones that I like I didn’t want to have to cut and paste any content or pictures. Well, this plugin resolved those problems, and it’s free.
