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 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.

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 hate to give a bad review but when the developer states 100% money back guarantee and then will not respond I have no choice. I sent a request over a week ago and since have sent a second request. The auto response says someone will be back to you within the next 12 hours. The plugin causes the WP White Screen of Death when trying to go back and customize my WP Theme. I have the latest version of this plugin as well as the latest version of the theme by WP. Deactivating this plug-in resolved the compatibility issue. I wanted to work with the developers to help resolve my issue and continue to use the plug-in but no response. So I would not recommending anyone pay for this plugin unless you have some cash to burn.

    The developer makes me unhappy. The 100% money back guarantee is a fake. You get nothing back. A very bad developer without many knowledge…bad!

    Nice Plugin, simple and effective, achieved the requirement I had. Also thanks for the custom post type management side quite easy. Btw even after I select the “Positioning” as hide for a slide the title still appears. Don’t know if you made it like this or not, but would really want you add a settings for the title hide too!
