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 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.9.31, well behind 6.8.

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.

    Breaks site. “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500” for “admin-ajax.php” and causes Elementor to never finish loading when you try to edit a page with elementor.

    Yeah so, it worked for a while but doesn’t anymore. That’s too bad because it was a good plugin.

    (this review is strictly for the video lightbox option) Terrible plugin. Hasn’t been updated in over a year and there are so many bugs. For one, if you choose the auto play setting, it auto plays when the website loads, not when you click on the button to make the lightbox pop up. Also, when closing the lightbox, video still plays in the background when it shouldn’t be (if on autoplay). Secondly, choosing a thumbnail picture doesn’t work. When putting a thumbnail picture on the video, it is overly big and just not accurate. Terrible plugin from a non-committed developer. Please don’t make plugins you won’t commit to! Or charge money for the plugin so you can be committed to it! What a waste of time. This topic was modified 7 years ago by truthseeker1487. This topic was modified 7 years ago by truthseeker1487.

    This plugin loads Bootstrap on it’s own and the plugins modals styling overrides standard Bootstrap styling. You shouldn’t load and override the default styling of a vastly used library in your plugin. Very much useless if you’re using it on a Bootstrap based theme.

    Used in a project, it integrates perfectly with Elementor Pro.
