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 11+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.2.39, 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.

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

N/A

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.

    I’ve been using this plugin with my WordPress/Discourse setup for about 7 months now. I’ve had zero problems. Highly recommended, and thanks for the sweet plugin!

    Works exactly as it should. Make sure to check TWO checkboxes in the Discourse admin: Enable single sign on via an external site (WARNING: USERS’ EMAIL ADDRESSES *MUST* BE VALIDATED BY THE EXTERNAL SITE!) Implement Discourse SSO provider protocol at the /session/sso_provider endpoint, requires sso_secret to be set

    If you need to share users between a WordPress site and a Discourse forum, this is the easiest way to get it done. Things were a little confusing within the Discourse admin panel, but that’s not the plugin author’s fault. Just make sure you tick the box to enable SSO within Discourse and it works perfectly.
