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 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.4.21.

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.

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

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 plugin works great as long as you do not use WooCommerce. If so – your ability to add a featured image is removed… rendering Woo unusable.

    This is by far the easiest and best page menu plugin. Can you just please update to the latest version of WP as it kills some other plugins after upgrade and would still like to use this plugin. Well done Keep it up.

    This is the best conditional menu plugin I’ve yet come across – simple, works well – thanks! e: Unfortunately it looks like the current version of WP (5.5) is causing some issues for this plugin – it still operates on the front end but it’s breaking meta boxes and other elements in the dashboard. Hopefully the developer can fix this otherwise excellent plugin. This topic was modified 5 years, 10 months ago by Anonymous User 13176105.

    Totally disrupted the menus on the top subdomains of our employee website. Fortunately, we haven’t launched yet, but trying to fix it is a nightmare. This topic was modified 7 years, 5 months ago by vegasrenie. Reason: Correct star rating

    Installed it and yes it works, but it only allows you to hide one menu. If a theme supports more menus the plugin doesn’t have the ability to ADD another setting to disable more than 2 menus. Does this deserve a 1 star? In my opinion yes. It is no secret that themes can have more than one menu.

    Used on a WP 4.9.5, installed without a hitch, does what it says, easy to use. Only drawback, it’s by post/page so on an existing site it can be a burden to go in all articles to redefine which menu you want to (dis)appear? Would have loved a to have the meta settings in category/taxonomy
