Removal-risk signals

53/100

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 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.4.21.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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. 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.

    What the plugin provides is not very complicated. It adds fields to menu items, where you can simply copy-paste your code. But before that, you need to know what you’re doing in terms of working with Javascript/jQuery. So, before you use the plugin, make sure you know how to set up such a Javascript event. Otherwise, you won’t know what to do with this tool.

    It only works if you have checked the check that it is “Primary Navigation”. If your web has multiple menus it does not work in others menus. This topic was modified 9 years ago by wp-yeyo.
