- Long abandoned. No update in 3+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 6.1.12.

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.

Hello. Really handy plugin. It exports WordPress settings and then you can import them selectively or all. Source code is very clean. However, WP-CLI support is missing. If it was present, I could automate the export/import process on each web application release.

Updated: Plugin works as expected and in general is a great idea! It however needs more attention to the exception handling (e.g. pop-up screen disabled) and interface that would in a more explicit way warn the user about the consequences of using “import All” option (e.g. that it will replace site url and deactivate all themes if the theme is not installed in the importing site). Author mentioned about pop-up window, but in our case it looks like the pop up did not show (maybe due to the use of pop-up blocking software), so our tester did not see the pop-up after choosing “All” option. One way to address this, would be to create a special choice (separate from “All”) to import exporting site url options E.g. have two choices: “All with changing siteurl” and “All without changing siteurl” or simply make a choice of changing siteurl a separate option highlighted in red with a note about consequences. Thank you for your good work and suggestions, we wish you success, Matt! Art http://webdesignartshop.com Also, we wish to highlight great support for the plugin by Matt, who immediately contacted our representative with offer to help and sent further clarifications. As soon as the future version of the plugin in some way address the issue we mentioned, we will be willing to give the plugin 5 star rating.
