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 9+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.6.30, well behind 6.8.

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.

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

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.

    This is a very simple plugin that is easy to use, and it works exactly as expected. I tried another more feature-rich plugin, but it didn’t appear to work properly for taxonomy meta. Unfortunately, this plugin has not been update in a long time. It saves the meta data into the #__options table, which was fine prior to WP v4.4. It appears to be well coded, but it needs to be updated to use the #__termmeta table. Taxonomy term metadata proposal This topic was modified 8 years, 10 months ago by netstepinc.
