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 14+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.4.2, 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.

Been using this plugin for years on an existing simple news site for personal use, camhamilton.net . Unfortunately it will not install in a new installation of WordPress on a new site. Someone PLEASE take charge of this plugin and fix the error, and give it a minor update to enable click & hold to move entries up and down in list. Donation link does not work, I will donate to anyone who will take charge of this awesome plugin. ———————————— Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error. Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘new’ (T_NEW) in /home/jchobbes/public_html/wp-content/plugins/newspage/simplepie.inc on line 720

Thank you for building this. I wanted to hire programmer to make me a site with feeds, like alltop.com. For Bulgaria, I knew it would be an interesting thing. Now, I can finally have it. It’s good
