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 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.1.42, 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.

This plugin works, it is a little wiggly about placement but can be dealt with if you know some CSS/HTML. It does go “out” sometimes but not too bad. Really it has been surprisingly durable over many months now. I do wonder why they don’t release an update, even if just a minor log change. The lapse is too long imo.

I had this installed and it works if it’s the last widget in a series, but if you have another widget after this one, the next widget appears inside of this widget. Seems to indicate there is a missing closing div tag somewhere?

When I activated & placed the widget, I was expecting the format shown in the screenshot on this site. For me, the pins were so large they placed themselves vertically in a tall row. My only option to reduce this was to allow it to render 1 pin at a time. However, I did appreciate the ease of uploading & activating. How can I change it’s aesthetic? Any help would be appreciated. http://www.tnhemp.org

this is an awesome pinterest plugin, i like how it functions, would be even better if you could set the padding and margin Ect.. between the photos, i like everything to align perfectly, and well there is not option to get it just right other than that this is prob one of the best pinterest plugins to show recent pins and encourage people to follow you on pinterest. Great work top plugin – even better it works for version 3.5 of wordpress.
