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 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.4.34, 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.

    It seemed good in theory, but this plug-in often causes 2 instances of the content block text area to show up when editing a post or page, especially when toggling from Text view to Visual view. Both the visual and text views show up at once. It you try to push through it, content is often lost on save. It seemed useful in theory, maybe i’ll check back with the plug-in when it updates to see if that glitch still happens.

    Love this plugin! It’s a great way of internal linking without opening up the link dialogue. I would prefer the style of the linking to fit more seamlessly with the WordPress UI (exchange the bright blue for WP Blue and bright link yellow for WP yellow you see in the url bar) But, even that won’t stop me form giving this plugin 5 stars.

    Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t. Often it just couldn’t find anything. The worst is that after I disabled this plugin, it left so much unneeded entries in my HTML – it took me ages to clean it up. Avoid!

    WoW, its cool wordpress plugin helps a lot in on page seo for my site have tested and works smart. Every time need to append @ character before to link old articles. Will you please add option if the word matches with existing post title will automatically link to the old url to make it as cornerstone content?
