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 11+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.0.38, 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.

It does what I expected. It’s easy to handle and I didn’t have any problems all over the years. Still runs with WordPress 4.0. Thanks for that!

I was really excited when I installed this plugin, it looked like it was perfect for me and my users to add our gigs! Then I realized its major flaw! and it is a major flaw that breaks every rule! It does not care who is logged in? In fact it does not even record which user posted what? Which means you have no clue who the gig entry was posted by??? Whats more any user can alter any other users entries including admins??? Its such a shame because the developer has obviously put a lot of work into this plugin but has broken the most fundamental rule of a WP plugin! I personally would pay for this but not with such a major issue as ignoring the user??? Eddie Hughes

Big thanks to the creator of this plugin, it has been working for me successfully for 2 years now. Also when a new WordPress update messed with the plugin, the author came back here to fix it for us. Much appreciated, keep it up.
