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 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.4.34, well behind 6.8.

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 just fine with WP 4.9.7. this one is more useful than “PAGE edit toolbar” (which is good too)

    I thinks it would be nicer if: 1) the drop down list is scrollable – currently the list can be as long as it extends to the bottom of your screen, but there is no way to scroll down it any further ( I have change the number of posts/pages to display); 2) a search box is added to the top of the list, so that one can search posts or pages in respective lists. Thanks!
