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 11+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.1.0, 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 year

How 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

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.

    This plugin doesn’t work. I wish the author would support this plugin as it is a great concept.

    Plugin suddenly stopped working for me in August, presumably due to a WordPress upgrade. Cannot get any support, as developer seems to have abandoned this plugin. Shame. Was great when it worked.

    I’m guessing this was developed before the recent API changes over at youtube. Either way, the developer has not addressed this issue and the one other 1-out-of-5 review highlights the fact this plugin just doesn’t work. I’d be keen to support this plugin if the developer could fix this.
