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.

Just google { "code": "rest_cannot_create", "message": "Sorry, you are not allowed to create posts as this user.", "data": { "status": 401 } } and you’ll find anyone using this plugin having issues authenticating to perform and protected operations. Dev team is not even responding to github issues or forum posts.

Hello, I have made an adapter for Parse Server under Node.js with which you can link the login of any installation of wordpress in Parse Server, for that I have used your plugin, which is the one that gives us access_token and allows us to verify the authenticity Of the user registered in the server. https://github.com/enriquecerda/parse-server-wordpress-login
