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 9+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.6.30, 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.

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.

    When clicking on your preview link you get to a porn page, then it’s not promising. And if you did it for fun, then get a life man! If your site has been hacked, it shows you are not very much supporting your products.

    Tried this but found more bugs than good features. It is impossible to close it even using coding tricks, it is ugly, it does not re-adapts and only works pasting the code on each single page… I wasted my time trying it WordPress Popup is the BEST

    Thanks. Would be nice if there was an option for closing button. Anyway, I guess it can be done with extra code. (In mobile if you use the “Back” button to bypass splash screen whole page closes. That’s why I need a close button.) Edit: —— * To Close the Splash Screen and Refresh the Same Page I used this code: <button type=”button” onClick=”history.go(0)”>X</button> There might be a better way but for now this method is working fine. + If you don’t want the Splash Screen to popup in every refresh but if you want it to popup at a certain interval, then you should go to index.php of the plugin and then find …setcookie(‘kento_splash_screen’, 1, time()+xxx. Then change xxx to any seconds you like. For example for a daily popup : 60x60x24 = 86400 (Place 86400 instead of xxx) Check out the Screen Shot

    Its a nice handy plugin to show splash screen however at the moment it has some javascript bugs if they are fixed I will even rate it higher

    I was hoping this would work. I had written my own basic lightbox popup but i wanted to try something better, and the demo for this looks great, unfortunately it kept conflicting with my site. I tried it on 4 different domains, and the slider would crash on each. maybe a javascript conflict ? not sure. im on wordpress 3.8 & 3.7 for the sites i tested it on. if you get a new version i would love to try again and change my rating.
