- Long abandoned. No update in 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.9.31, 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.
What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin · 81% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.
Estimated active installs
The public count shows “40+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.

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.

I had to modify the code to make the posts appear only on the pages they were assigned to, this should have been a given in the original coding. Also, trying to make a “Modified” date stamp, which the system lacks. Hitting my head on the wall on this one.

This was just the Liveblog solution I was looking for: + Simple + Completely within WP infrastructure + Create as many Liveblogs as you want + Auto-Tweet new Liveblog entries + Ajax Auto-refresh of Liveblog page + Customizable html/css output of Liveblog posts Sadly it is longer developed. To work with newest WP version you need to apply this fix: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/all-live-blog-entries-appearing-in-all-live-blog-posts

Works as intended, but it would be nice if some improvements would be made to the existing features as well as introduction of new ones (e.g. entry titles).
