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 13+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.5.2, 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.

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.

    If all you want is a simple carousel that forces you into using a one size fits all image, then this one will work. If you want any support or something customizable, look elsewhere.

    You should provide the detailed description on how to use it. I got stuck here since 4hrs. Firstly It took me Hrs to understand where is the visual editor.. and now I am struggling how to add images?? what custom post?? Why cant you you provide the detailed description. You have just provided the three points everywhere.. Firstly you say that add images links and in second point you say to upload images to post.. Its too much confusing..

    The documentation is not particularly well-written and could be made a lot clearer. For example, there are two shortcodes you can use, but I don’t think one of them uses the ‘Carousel Images’ custom post type data. Not sure though…

    I like it very much! Would it be possible to make the images click-able (linked)?
