High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance 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 3.6.1, 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.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow 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
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.

There’s information on how to configure this plugin in the FAQ. However, it only explains how to get the plugin working on the back end of the site. You will have to query the post metadata or create your own function in the functions.php file to fix this problem. Hopefully the author updates his documentation because it is a good plugin.

I needed this for a client site. It really helped out in giving them the ability to manage multiple images for a given page. I actually used it in conjunction with a custom page type, which worked great. It appears you can declare different sets of featured images and give them to different types of pages, which gives it some nice flexibility.
