Removal-risk signals

53/100

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 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.7.17.

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.

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.

    I wish there was an easy way to mark it as non-purchasable without having to go into the edit product screen. I have a ton of products I want to use this on and it’s a pain to have to singling edit every one of them.

    One of my customers was still able to order through the product quick view…

    A simple checkbox on the product page, and a global message (in which you can include HTML) to show in place of the buy button on products for which you have checked the box. You can choose to have the message displayed in a colored box or as normal text. This is exactly what I wanted with no added complexity. If I had one wish, it would be for the “is purchasable” attribute to be bulk editable. When I take my art to a show, I would like to toggle the purchaseableness all the pieces I’m taking in a single action instead of editing each one.

    I was looking for a simple solution to offer a catalog of products that cannot be sold online. By chance I found this plugin. And everything works as I wanted. Thank you !

    Please consider adding an option “mark product as out of stock” in the options, so when you tick “non-purchasable” it also marks the product as out of stock too (prevents people with the product already in their cart from purchasing it) – yes, you can do it with another couple of clicks in the product page, but might save some time!
