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 3.2.1, 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.

Perfect little plugin – Works perfectly Don’t worry about the ‘out of date’ message. This plugin is essential if you are using NextGen Gallery. I use it on all my WordPress sites

I try putting the shortcode, but nothing shows up on the site. It’d be much better if you included a gui for adding galleries. For example, add a button to the post edit screen (the kitchen sink) or a button next to the “Add Media” button, or add a GUI inside the “Add Media” window. The result would be that the shortcode gets generated and added automatically, so it’s easy for my Grandma to use. EDIT: Wait nevermind, it took a while for it to appear on the page for some reason… Anyways, about the image sizing… You can use JavaScript to make sure the images fit in one area (i.e. make a “crop” effect). It’s not hard!
