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 9+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.6.30, well behind 6.8.

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.

    Easy to install and configure. But this issue has persisted through many updates. Using WordPress 3.9.1 Plugin Version 1.5.6 mbcal.org

    I found this plugin easy to use and get working…however…I noticed a few things in the PHP that I needed to tweak in order for it to display the way I needed it to. I also went in and updated all if ($variable !== ”) to if (!empty($variable)) because in some cases the !== ” was not picked up and some empty HTML tags were still being outputted to the browser. Knowing PHP it obviously made it easy to tweak the behaviours a bit, but I it may be a tad difficult for users to configure the output if they are not sure about PHP. Perhaps the author could look at implementing a more in depth display settings panel in future updates 🙂 But all in all, I must say it does a good job for what it is intended for.

    As the author, I obviously like this plugin… It works well, but I know that it could have more fields and be easier to customize. Stay tuned for more ujpdates.
