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 8+ 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.
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.

I’ve been using this for a couple of years, now on a number of sites. And, it works fine in WordPress 5. In fact, I’m currently using it on a site I’m developing in WordPress 5.2.2 using the OceanWP template and Elementor page builder. At first, I used Hide This, but then switched to another solution because I thought HT to be a bit limited for certain options. One specific problem I was having with HT was trying to get the ! (not) operator to function as expected. I later came back to HT because I considered it to be “less bad” than the other soution I had begun using. However, once I really got into HT (again) I discovered the “for all” (with exceptions) option. Now, I use the following syntax for everything: [hide for=”all” exclude=(my list of exceptions, that is, the list of roles I WANT to be able to view the content)]. Now, THAT is powerful yet extremely flexible. This thing meets ALL my needs. Don’t be afraid to give it a try…I think you’ll be glad you did.

Straightforward. If you ever need to hide some page contents, this is for you. I use it often when I play with different ways of displaying information. No need to delete the original version, just hide it while working on new approaches.
