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 4.7.35, 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

This plugin looked so promising, but it ended up being a disappointment. When you edit or delete a single song in “Manage Songs”, it impacts all the songs. For example, let’s say you have the following song list: Your Song What A Wonderful World Hound Dog I’m A Believer When we edit Hound Dog, for example, and update, our list ends of looking like this: Hound Dog Hound Dog Hound Dog Hound Dog Back to the original four songs, if we were to delete I’m A Believer, for example, all the songs will become deleted. We’ve played with this probably 20 times and reached out to support several times, but still can’t get it to work properly. This topic was modified 9 years, 4 months ago by WebDev22.
