Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance 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 4+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.9.0.

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.

If running PHP 7+, you can get an undefined index notice on line 408 of class-heirary.php. A better way of defining $post_types_to_hide on line 408 would be to do the following: /** * Just create an empty array */ $hideFromMenuFix = array(); if (isset($this->settings['hidden_from_admin_menu'])) { $post_types_to_hide = array_intersect( $this->post_types, (array) $this->settings['hidden_from_admin_menu'] ); } else { // if not set, use the blank array $post_types_to_hide = array_intersect( $this->post_types, (array) $hideFromMenuFix ); } Hope this helps!

The Admin menu items (Pages, Posts, media) are not restored after deactivating the plugin. This sucks!

A great way to admin and organize your WordPress content.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Marc Wiest11.8y ago
This is killer! The only thing I’m missing is a sort option for the contents to find specific content types faster.

Having all the content related organization under one single tab is way easier for both dev and client to handle, Hierarchy does a great job for that, and the latest UI improvements are very welcome !

I don’t understand why you’re bothering reading this review instead of downloading and installing this plugin. Get to it.
