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 12+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.7.41, well behind 6.8.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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.

    I love it when a plugin, like Multiple Rich Editors, performs and functions as advertised. It literally took me 5 minutes to install, activate and integrate within a custom theme build for a project I was recently working on. If you are ever in need of a second WYSIWYG editor for posts, pages and/or custom post types, look no further than this one.
