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 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.

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.

    Most widget titles describe a general category or post type which may have an archive. Events widget title can link to the events page. Widgets which list a category, News for instance, can link their title to that archive page. Makes all widget titles double as navigation and adds interior cross-links within the site. Great of accessibility and SEO. Simple to use. Nothing extra. Exactly what it says it is.

    Did not work on any widgets from Ultimatum framework or other plugins. Only on WP core widgets. Nice idea though.

    Does not work in many widgets. With the ones from wordpress core it does.

    This plugin worked with my non-standard widget – unlike another plugin that I tried first. Excellent, thanks so much! 😀 😀 😀

    Add a great little feature to your widgets so you can now link the widget title to any URL you want.
