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 12+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.4.2, 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.

How 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

N/A

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.

    It is incredible that this still functions (for now). It won’t be long before this plugin becomes unusable though. If someone wants to take it over and recommend something modern (why WP doesn’t make this a native feature….idk). At least, for the moment, it works still 🙂

    Excellent plugin, it worked perfectly in the most current version of WordPress even though it was so long without updating !!

    If you want this to apply to custom post types, simply modify the following line in the plugin: function mypo_parse_query_useronly( $wp_query ) { if ( strpos( $_SERVER[ 'REQUEST_URI' ], '/wp-admin/edit.php' ) !== false ) { To include the endpoint of the edit page for the custom post type, like so: function mypo_parse_query_useronly( $wp_query ) { if ( strpos( $_SERVER[ 'REQUEST_URI' ], '/wp-admin/edit.php' ) !== false || strpos( $_SERVER[ 'REQUEST_URI' ], '/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=[POST TYPE SLUG]' ) !== false ) { You can add as many custom post types separated by OR operators “||” as you’d like.

    The plugin will allow a contributor to manage or view only the posts or drafts that they have written without letting them see what other contributors or authors have published. Simply install the plugin and it will take care of the rest.
