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 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.0.0, 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.

Facebook doesn’t appear to work. You can’t post to a Facebook Page. It forces you to switch to your personal id, and it wants your email and contacts. Plus the Facebook permissions say “This does not let the app post to Facebook.” Google+ is not available. It is “Coming soon”. Pinterest authentication requires giving your password to the pr-gateway.de site, but I’m uncomfortable doing that for anything that is free, even though it’s a new account. Twitter seems to work. I authenticated but did not post. These are the permissions: This application will be able to: Read Tweets from your timeline. See who you follow, and follow new people. Update your profile. Post Tweets for you. It seems they are still working on it, because all of these could have been discovered during a preliminary alpha test. I’m off to investigate IFTTT next.

I really wish that this worked, but no luck with various versions of WP or with the last 3 updates to the plugin

I installed the plugin and for using it, there’s a link in the plugin’s settings page to sign-up here: http://www.pr-gateway.de/component/comprofiler/?task=registers For what do you collect names and address data for a FREE account, for users just using it for social connect? That’s a NO GO!
