Removal-risk signals
45/100Maintenance 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 3+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
Directory ranking optimization
How it's scored →How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.
Room to improve
Biggest win: Update recency
To rank higher: Last updated 1160 days ago — ship an update; wp.org decays a listing's search weight after ~180 days.

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.

Really simple to use, but incredibly helpful to be able to show ACF columns.

I’ve been using «Admin Columns for ACF Fields» plugin for years until now, when it started to give PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Illegal offset type in /wp-content/plugins/admin-columns-for-acf-fields/acf_admin_columns.php:170 at the ‘All posts’ page. Switching to «Posts Columns Manager». with more features and maintenance. Great job!

This is the only plugin that was able to add a canonical URL column to the post grid. Tried dozens of other ways – did not help. Thank you!

First I want to say thank you for creating a very useful plugin that is intuitive and easy to use. I do have a feature request, it would be nice to be able to set the order of the columns. For example to move an ACF Date column before the default Title column.
