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 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.9.31, 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.

Unfortunately, I can only give them one star – I really don’t want to give them any at all, but yes. You can’t access their website, you can’t get in touch with them, it doesn’t work, etc. … I hope someone can figure it out, hmm. This topic was modified 2 years ago by Bjørn Nielsen.

Really handy plugin for Pushover users, I’ve been using it for years and it’s never missed a beat.

Various parts of the interface (e.g., the sysinfo tab) cause fatal errors on PHP 7. Plus, there’s not much functionality here that can’t be done better by hand.

Bonjour, merci beaucoup pour cet article. Pour avoir testé Pushover pour améliorer la communication au sein d’une entreprise, c’est vrai que ça marche plutôt bien et les coûts sont plutôt faible par rapport au développement d’une appli d’entreprise typique. Tout dépend les oblectifs ensuite, bien évidemment. Pour compléter l’article, un de mes collègues a fait un exemple d’implémentation de l’API Pushover en C#. Si jamais ça vous chauffe : http://www.softfluent.fr/blog/expertise/2017/01/26/Pushover-API

If this is a paid plugin, and dont say it is free cause you cannot use it without paying for the addons So why is it on the wordpress free plugins page? dont u see that this is misleading?
