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.

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

N/A

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.

    Nice plugin but found a super small spammy link at the bottom of my blog with a link to his own site. If you’re going to create a plugin don’t be a douch about it.

    2014-Jan 13, 12:22AM Been looking for something like this the past few hours. Installed and tested it. It works with any YouTube Channel. Posted and ran tests using my WP site, and it pulled like a charm. Was even able to post multiple ‘Shortcodes’ for more than one channel. To do that, just run the wizard, plug in details, then ‘Save Defaults’, then click ‘Create shortcode’. Copy Shortcode, then modify the whole page, click save default, and then create shortcode again. And bam, new shortcode. Do this again for each channel, make your list of more than one shortcode, copy over to your page…and presto! More than one channel on same page, or heck, make multiple pages. What ever works for you. Hope that you try this it works.

    I just installed this via a do_shortcode() call in a theme and it works great. It would be great to have a version without the thick border that comes standard because it would fit in more places without having to modify the CSS. Thanks!
