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 5.5.20.

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.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

    I wanted a portfolio that was sortable into catgories, could display multiple images and was customizable. I tried a bunch of others and most were just awful. This one fits the bill perfectly. I am happy. Thanks!

    I wanted to add a Portfolio page to my site at SavvyJackieDesigns.com/portfolio and this plugin was essential in getting the job done. Once I added my portfolio custom post type, I created an archive template page to completely customize the display.

    I finally changed from my own custom plugin to JetPack’s portfolio and now this. This plugin is well crafted and has useful filter to easily change the Labels & post type slug making it easy to integrate with existing websites.

    There’s another plugin in the repo that is made by a well-known WordPress developer who is frequently praised for “clean code.” Guess what? This plugin does everything the other one can do, and takes up just a fraction of its footprint! This truly is clean code. Pair it with Display Posts Shortcode and you have an awesome combo!
