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 3.6.1, 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.

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.

    Works straight out of the box, and a doddle to configure and tweak. If you need Tabs you need this. Thanks Guys

    First of all thank you for creating this plugin for free. I just end up in using this plugin after trying up lot of others. I found this plugin very easy to use, beautiful skins and very simple. Use this plugin if you looking to put up Tab in your page or post. 🙂

    Very straight forward to use. Very good implementation of jQuery-UI. Loads CSS before style.css, so you can make style changes without registering another style sheet. Recommend you become familiar with jQuery_UI before use if you plan to customize. (http://jqueryui.com/)

    …with such a busy schedule and clientele, I realized I could save a couple of minutes (and hours at times) here-and-there. This is just too awesome of a plugin! Great job Mark and thanks for allowing me to spend more time walking the family dog 🙂 Roger

    This mod makes it so anybody can add tabs easily. I have installed a few others and had customers always complain because they would not be able to figure out that they did wrong.

    This plugin in awesome. It was so easy to use I was amazed. Usually I have to spend to a good deal of time setting it up just to figure out whether it will do what I want it to do. But this was one was refreshingly easy and does everything I wanted. Thank you!!

    Works great and does almost everything I wanted. I only wish when I navigate into a tab and then return via the browser back button, the tab was still active. Right now it goes back the the default tab. Any ideas? Still give it 5 stars though!
