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 11+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.1.42, 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

Worked like a charm
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Jess11.6y ago
Worked for what I needed, which was to convert a few more posts from an old import into pages. But for ongoing work-flow, I find the prominence of the converter meta-box to be too up-front, above the Publish options box on the edit screen. I also don’t like its presence in the list of posts or pages AT. ALL. So, that means I disable it when I don’t need it, or delete entirely. For a short term task, it’s just as advertised.

Works great when editing individual posts/pages/portfolio items. The bulk function isn’t working. Would be 5 stars if the bulk function worked!

Great plugin! After serious and unpredictable issues with a similar one, Post Type Converter has perfectly suited my needs. I wish it could also convert categories…

I recommend it to everyone who has problems and accidently migrate blog posts with their Comic Posts with the new ComicPress, it has saved a ton of frustration for users.

In conjunction with another plugin that allows you to update all pages to a custom post type, for example, this can be a very helpful and intuitive plugin. It would be great to see the option to update the post type within the bulk edit options as well where you can hand select which pages you may want to convert.
