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 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.6.0.

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.

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

N/A

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    I was exactly looking for that, but I think the plugin is outdated. This topic was modified 3 years, 11 months ago by Firas Abd Alrahman.

    Perfect plugin, I discover it thanks to wootheme documentation, it will be very useful the day I need to update my theme. Just a little thing: I’m using WP Editor to improve the quality of my plugin & theme editor, however when i’m editing the new functions.php, the editor isn’t working, I have the original editor from wordpress. Do you know why/how can I make it work? Thanks

    I suggest this to folks I’m helping all the time who the barrier to write a plugin from scratch seems too high. A nice way to intro people to plugin coding.

    This plugin worked well with my wordpress single site. But on my wordpress multisite, it edited the first existing plugin that disappeared from my plugin list. The happend three times and then I had to reinstall 3 of my plugins. Be very carefull before trying this plugin.
