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 4.3.34, well behind 6.8.

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.

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.

    Thank you for this!!! After switching themes, all my images displayed a blank ‘custom size,’ showing only the ALT text during the post. Thanks to this plugin, I was able to convert all images with a width of 1024 to ‘full’ and they’re all good now. Thank You!

    What a simple and effective plugin to get the job done. I was able to replace old Image Sizes to the New Image sizes with one click. And before changing the sizes, it gave me preview for all OLD image html tags and the new tags will be… Thank you so much for the great plugin! Great work Pau Iglesias!

    I’ve changed the size of the image on my theme quite a few time. A few plugin allow you to resize your image, but you have to edit all your post to replace the image with the new size. I used to do that directly in the SQL database, but this plugin provides a much better and simpler alternative. This only improvement that I could suggest would be to display the image not in their full size which end up larger than my display size. It would be more convenient if the image was scaled down.

    After I’ve rebuilt all the thumbnail I suddenly remembered that I was using different image size till 2013 and all older posts now appeared with no images. And we are talking about 500+ posts with 3,000+ images. Surprisingly it took me only 5 minutes to fix the issue, 4 of them I spent finding this plugin. Second time it came handy the very next day when I found out that rebuilding thumbnails also changed dimensions on some non-standard aspect ratios (e.g. was 960×633 and became 960×632) due to using different image resizing engine. And once again, fixing it was a blast. Worked great on the latest WP version even though the plugin hasn’t been updated for 2 years.

    Needed to change the post image sizes after a theme change. This plugin really helped. Thanks.

    It replaced all images in a post with the first image in the post… while this is very artsy, it’s not helpful. Seems to be severely broken with WP 3.6

    Was doing a remake of a clients website and found out that all of the image dimensions in the content also needed to be changed. Great plugin!!
