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 13+ 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 year

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

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

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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.

    The plugin does not send emails to subscribers or the Admin even though the post displays ‘notification sent.’ I am switching to another plugin.

    Hey it works, but the messages are not great English, Post templates are pretty ugly out of the box, subscribe/unsubscribe is a bit clunky.

    Due to the unresolved dublicate email problem, I uninstalled this plugin and went with Subscribe2 instead.

    I had the Follow plugin but when I went and used WP Touch it was annoying and wouldn’t leave the screen. This widget has everything I need and so far I love it. One exception: I wish there was a weekly or monthly digest!

    I tried to use this plugin on my page. But it is a kind of ridiculuous that the box where subscribers were supposed to enter their email address was not shown up. How strange!!!
