Removal-risk signals

51/100

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.
  • No tested-up-to version. The listing declares no "Tested up to" version.

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.

    Nice plugin but it needs to be updated. It doesn’t support PHP 7. This topic was modified 6 years, 12 months ago by zeeshanx.

    After looking at various other RSS feed plugins, I tried this one, even though it hadn’t been updated in 2 years. Something SIMPLE can be timeless, and though I can’t vouch for every WP version, I’m very happy with this plugin because of its simplicity. It’s perfect.

    Inserts feed summary lines as <h3> titles, which is not acceptable for me. Does not allow retrieval and display of feed source.

    Works as described, but example code would have made configuring slightly easier. Plugin is simple to figure out either way.
