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 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.4.34, 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.
What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.
Estimated active installs

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.

Nice Plugin, made things a lot easier for me. The UI is nice as well. Thanks for this!

This plugin is great and it works as expected when you use Slack’s legacy token API: https://api.slack.com/custom-integrations/legacy-tokens Just a hint for other users who can’t get it to work. I was able to figure it out so I thought I’d pass on the link to the API this plugin uses. Thanks for a great plugin! It’s exactly what I need. 🙂

Plugin doesn’t work unfortunately. Have raised several issues in the support forum and still no response after months. This topic was modified 9 years, 5 months ago by Anthony Hortin.

While the author is not responsible for Slack itself, having at least basic instructions on how to obtain a proper Slack Token would result in a much higher rating. Currently it works with a Test token, but that’s not a proper setup.

This plugin does exactly what it says and seems to work well. I had some issues with it’s CSS in widgets and a minor issue with default channels, but @rheinardkorf responded quickly and pushed updates to both issues in a short time. Thanks!
