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 4.1.42, 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.

    I love the idea of this plugin, but I don’t understand the reason for some of the settings. Why in the world would I want a screenshot of my admin page to show up in place of the playlist embed code? I keep trying to change this, but it always goes back to embedding my admin page. Why in the world did you set it up this way and why can’t I change this? Also, why does this program insist on showing a link to my Youtube page? I keep unchecking the box, then saving it, but it always goes back to putting a checkmark next to the option to show a link to my Youtube page! I really don’t understand the reason for having this settings page if my changes cannot be saved!

    Great for showing live Hangouts by embedding YouTube videos.
