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 13+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.5.2, well behind 6.8.

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.

    This plugin has worked great over the years but is using the MailChimp 1.3 API (according to mailchimp-api-mini-class/MCAPI.class.php) and hasn’t been updated in 4 years. MailChimp is retiring old APIs and ours finally broke as they are on version 3.0. It’s a great plugin and I’m impressed it’s worked this long, but I’ve giving this one star because it’s not updated and will be breaking if it hasn’t already for you. That said, if it happens to you can get some code from MailChimp directly paste that into a widget to hopefully get back on track!

    We wanted to have the latest newsletter show on the site to entice more people to sign up. It works great, the settings are easy, and am very happy you’re able to control the size of it all. Two small gripes, though. 1) When only showing one newsletter at a time and clicking Show More it sometimes doesn’t work. 2) We have a long, events based newsletter with lots of imagery that changes weekly so the height constraint was a problem for us. We changed the code in the plugin to allow the height to go up to 3000px, which may be the reason the issue is happening with #1. UPDATE: I changed the container DIV to have “overflow:scroll;” so when clicking More the older campaigns are visible when scrolling down. Worked out well. Other than that, this plugin is awesome and I highly recommend!

    I was trying to get my newsletter archive code from MailChimp for over an hour before I searched for and found this plugin. It’s perfect! The shortcode options are precise and easy and I had an attractive and functional listing of my email newsletters with very little effort. As a bonus, the generated links to newsletters open in a new window so the site visitor doesn’t leave your website.
