Removal-risk signals

51/100

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.
  • No tested-up-to version. The listing declares no "Tested up to" version.

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.

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.

    still works, and may outlast the alternative solution below 🙂 this was causing issues with https in admin — and can be solved easily without a plugin as below. add the following code to functions.php to enable the next-page button from http://wordpress.org/support/topic/bringing-nextpage-button-back add_filter('mce_buttons','wysiwyg_editor'); function wysiwyg_editor($mce_buttons) { $pos = array_search('wp_more',$mce_buttons,true); if ($pos !== false) { $tmp_buttons = array_slice($mce_buttons, 0, $pos+1); $tmp_buttons[] = 'wp_page'; $mce_buttons = array_merge($tmp_buttons, array_slice($mce_buttons, $pos+1)); } return $mce_buttons; }
