Removal-risk signals

53/100

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 4+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.8.15.

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

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

N/A

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    Be advised – our developer found some potential Malware tied in with this plugin that our client added to the website. Their site started to be put on a blacklist. We quickly had the hosting company do a cleanup and we removed this plugin.

    Now, it’s possible to have clean design with equal height columns / rows. Great

    This worked beautifully for adding responsive element heights to an existing theme. Added the class and it worked like a charm. THANK YOU.

    Nice plugin that solves an issue that drives many designers crazy. Drop in the CSS selector(s) and it works. Thanks!
