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 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.9.31, 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.

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.

    First off, thank you to the developers for making a rock solid plugin for this integration, and I really appreciate the recent 3.0 update. It expands the usefulness of this plugin considerably. Highly recommend this plugin.

    Great for connecting Gravity forms, transferring contacts over to Constant Contact and using their automation tools.

    This add-on for Gravity Forms works perfectly – just as you would expect of an official Gravity Forms add-on. This is because the developer uses exactly the same coding standards. It’s built on top of the Gravity Forms Add-On Framework so the UI is familiar and easy to use. It also means that a great deal of security, future-proofing and compatibility with other add-ons is guaranteed.

    I’m not a big constant contact fan, but a few clients use it. I’ve set this up a couple of times and it works just fine. Not happy that it has to use their username and password, but the alternatives I’ve seen also need username and password. So I’m going to blame constant contact instead of this wordpress plugin. For everything else, though, the plugin works as expected and lets you map all sorts of fields. So far it has done everything I have needed. Thanks This topic was modified 9 years, 7 months ago by radgh.

    Works well for the basics but would be much more useful if it could pull custom fields set in Constant Contact into the field mapping options when setting up a feed. (Relevant support thread) Regardless of functionality though the fact that the Constant Contact login info is stored in the database as plain text is a non-starter.
