High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance 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 12+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.6.1, 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.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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.

This plugin was probably good 6 months to 1 year ago, but it has not been kept current with either wordpress or studiopress: genesis. It only works for the home page and will not function correctly on the blog page template, or any other template page you set it to. I ended up having to find code to put in my page_blog.php file to get the post lengths shortened to what I needed.

Such a shame. This was a great plugin. No response from the plugin developer for months. I suspect he’s abandoned it.

Go to activate this plugin and it returns with a message to register on a pay site. Installation page is misleading.
