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 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.5.33, 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.

Does not work with 4.5.3, I tried several times, each time restoring the DB back after losing all CSS and other changes

Entered my URLs without a slash at the end. Deleted many tables entirely. Lost my custom CSS styles & my theme settings. Backup first!!

I know that wordpress is reporting that this plugin has not been updated in the last two years, but I took the dive and tried out on wordpress 4.0.1 anyway and it worked as the plugin states. For those who are a bit confused as to what to put in your wp-config.php file, here you go… just replace the url (example.com) with yours… define(‘WP_HOME’, ‘http://example.com’); define(‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘http://example.com’); And as the author recommends before running it, you should backup your database just for good measure.. Many thanks to the author for this plugin, you sir, are a LEGEND!
