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 4.5.33, 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.

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

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.

    NEW-UPDATED: The plugin not working the plugin has not been working for more than 2 months, have only filtered by posts WITHOUT featured images and simply the plugin reloads the page without showing only the posts without feat.im. and the author seems to have no commitment to the project. OLD: This has saved my skin, I messed up in a mess, where an import plugin worked bad, and it pulled posts without thumbnails, I can not have posts without thumbnails, and bad thing is to remove that, and to do this has can list and Filter, would be a painful job, and that plugin completes the wordpress filters like no other! List posts only with and without featured featured image! Amazing! Thank you so much, I would have to call some action from library $wpdb; If it was not for this plugin! Thankssss.

    Agreed with loogaroo’s comment above. This should be a core WordPress feature. Very handy. Especially when testing themes and plugins. Thanks for your efforts!

    I’ve been using Keyring to auto-import Instagram pictures. Recently keyring started setting featured images on the new Instagram imports, but all of the old ones didn’t have featured items :/ With this plugin, I was able to quickly set all featured images within a minute or two including install time. :hug:

    Love it! I am improving my sites by adding images to old posts (which was once seemed a daunting task). Having your plug-in ensures that I don’t miss one along the way. Plus it lively ups the post listing page. Thanks!

    Hi There, Your plugin is truly amazing. Exactly what I wanted to do – See my pictures in my Post List. When you are working with hundreds of different posts, for a News/Magazine style website – this is extremely helpful. Thank you so much! 5* for sure 🙂
