High removal-risk signals

63/100

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 11+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.2.39, 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.

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.

    Abandonware Hasn’t been updated in over 2 years, unable to edit any postings where the plug in is in use. This topic was modified 9 years, 5 months ago by bofslime.

    I am not able to edit HTML or CSS as I am new to websites. This plugin is allowing me to easily organise content into rows and colunms without a lot of knowledge. I searched for many hours to find a plugin that would do this. Good job, well done to the developer. I would like to be able to copy entire rows to another page, but have asked if this is possible through support, if not I have a few extra hours of work, but still an excellent plugin so far.

    This plug in swallowed all my input on my site. All I had was a thing with pixgridder options, my posts were gone. I got them back by uninstalling your plug in, but this was a ghastly experience. I tried to listen to your tutorial. You need to find someone who can voice over for you. I couldn’t understand what you were saying at all. This may work beautifully for someone more experienced. It was a nightmare for me.

    I use it successfully but very careful because there are some weak point: The content of the columns are in my case usually shortcodes of the Plugin List category posts (catlist). If I edit it under wysiwig whole the structure of the page are destroyed. If I strictly use the text editor, everything works fine.

    Thank you very much Manuel! You’ve made my life so much easier. You’re a coding hero. This is the best page builder in the market. PERIOD. As a journalism student my coding knowledge is zero. I tried to use Minimax, Widgetize Pages Ligt, and Page Builder by Site Origin. All of them without success. The issue? Well all of them don’t keep the css style of the plugins. I’m using several plugins with customizable typography and image dimensions, but they don’t work well with the page builder plugins I mentioned before. I spent a week trying to figure out why they didn’t work. However, PixGridder works perfectly. It doesn’t overwrite the css of the plugins. I just love this plugin. I don’t need the premium features, but I’m going to buy the plugin to support the developer. This plugin is worth every dollar it cost. Again Manuel, you’re the best! Cheers, Daniel Rodriguez Calgarianvanguard.com (my website is still under construction, but you can see how easy it has been to create a grid for the post widgets I’m using in the homepage).
