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 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.3.23, 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.

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.

    you must change in plugin line 348: return preg_replace( '#(http://.*?/)[.]*?' . SERVER_DOC_ROOT . '#', $protocol . $host . '/' , $url ); in: return preg_replace( '#(https://.*?/)[.]*?' . SERVER_DOC_ROOT . '#', $protocol . $host . '/' , $url ); Because with http doesnt work. Thank you! I like the plugin very much! This topic was modified 5 years, 8 months ago by Elisa.

    I was hesitant to use a plugin with so few active installs and not the greatest review rating, but this is exactly what I needed. It took me a little to figure out how it works. Just a note, sometimes when I first upload something it will appear to be in the folder I want, but it is actually in the default location. I have found that I just need to move it to the default location (it will fail, because that is where it already is) and them move it to the correct folder and it will be in the right spot. Give yourself time to experiment and play with this plugin and you will find out that it works!

    The plugin used to work but currently breaks the URL to the image. Needs to be fixed.

    But mostly throws PHP notices and breaks the URLs to images.

    Since the disappearance of the option to change the upload directory path from Settings in WordPress 3.5 I have been pulling my hair out trying to find a solution. This works perfectly!!! Thank you!
