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 4.8.30, 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.

Release cadence

No release in a year

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

N/A

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    2 problems I run into: 1) the plugin injects wp-content/uploads/rc_geositemap.xml which doesn’t exit (returns 404). the author committed to fixing this issue more than a year ago, but it’s still there. this non-existing sitemap appears in sitemap_index.xml (created by yoast SEO, but the problem comes from this plugin, not yoast’s one). google webmaster tools reports this as a broken xml. Please fix. 2) once the rich snippet widget is created it’s confusing how to edit it. it keeps on selecting with “V” “Side Bar 1” even though I created it in Side Bar 2. Took some time to figure out how to get to edit the existing widget in side bar 2 and had to dump the automatically added empty Rich snippet widget to Side Bar 1. This part is not user-friendly, but can be figured out.

    Added it, was super easy. (I dont have any special coding skills) I added all the possible contact info, and added the widget to my sidebar. Afterward, ran the post thru the google schema markup testing tool, and found all the correct schema for hcard, and my profession, embedded in the article. Good job
