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 3.9.40, 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.

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.

    Hi Timothy, thank you for this awesome tool. Easy to handle, even for the client.

    I click on the “Add Attachment” button and nothing happens (other than the screen scrolling to the top). I only wish it did work, as it would be incredibly useful.

    Yes, it does still work like a charm. (WP v5.0), December 2018. Agree that this should be a standard function of Gravity forms, but in the meantime this is a great solution.

    Nothing to declare, work as advertised on the latest version of Gravity Forms. Can’t figure why this is not a core feature of the original plugin though.

    The plugin is not working in WordPress 4.3.1. You can click the add attachment button but nothing happens.

    Latest versions of WP, GF and Gravity Forms Notification Attachments and the button shows but no action occurs when you click it. I see a 3 month old support notification regarding this, but no response to it.

    Works perfectly, much easier than mucking about with hooks. Just install and go!
