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 9+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.6.30, 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.

When you have to edit content in HTML and insert a lot of the same classes, this plugin becomes precious, as it let’s you customise your HTML editor buttons in a rather simple way. There are 2 things I miss, and that’s why I’m giving it 4 stars: – a way to re-order the created buttons – a way to export and import the created buttons BTW, it seems to be working fine with 4.8.

This is just what I was looking for. I only use text editor but wanted to be able to make custom buttons for the tags I use most. I’m delighted. Thank you for your good work on this.

Doeas what it says. It is super useful for creating i.e. hX tags or shortcodes i.e. [button]. I don’t like the visual editor, so this additions are great. PS. The code could be more tidy.

I love this plugin and hope they update it soon and maintain it. This plugin is great because I don’t like repetitive coding tasks, so I make button with this plugin for the code I know I will use often or even just occasionally. It’s fun to click the buttons!
