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 11+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.2.39, 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 year

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

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.

    Fantastic plugin, many thanks for the release! Would be so much better if an option was included to disable it for certain user roles such as Super Admin. There are times when I need to inspect some code and having to enable / disable constantly gets annoying. Apart from that niggling issue I’d recommend using it.

    Unfortunately, I used this for at least 3 years, just checked it today and surprised to find that it stopped working. I had to add another plug in WP Content to disable right click. I still have jcwp copy paste blocker on my list of plug ins and it is still enabled. I am quite disappointed, how did this happen? Very uncool. On his facebook page, another user found that this was only working with Firefox browser. Responded that it was now updated. But still has problems, no wonder not many downloads. Anyone know how long it stopped working? That’s hella fked up. I have hundreds of visitors to my page every month from different countries.

    It’s very easy to use and works fine on my laptop, but I can still select save as on my iphone and ipad. I would have given it 5 stars if this wasn’t the case.
