High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance 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.

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.

Very cool. Just saved me from having to sift through the DB to save a user’s bacon.

Despite the plugin not having been updated in 4 years, I just tried it and it worked perfectly. I was able to retrieve the GF Token for someone who’d saved a form but lost the link. Just thought I’d share that it still works on WP 6.0.1 and GF 2.6.5.

I was hesitant to use this because it is an old plugin that doesn’t seem to be maintained (hasn’t been updated in 3 years), but I really needed the functionality like right now and didn’t have the time to develop it myself. I glossed over the single PHP file that makes this plugin and they made it rather “future-proof” so it still works today without breaking the site. Until Gravity Forms changes their database table name from “gf_draft_submissions” or any of its column keys from “form_id”, “date_created”, “email”, “IP”, “uuid”, or “source_url”, this plugin will continue to work to give site admins the ability to recover those lost links for people when they visit the admin page at /wp-admin/tools.php?page=save-and-continue-link-recovery

We use this plugin to recover partially saved applications on our extremely long 18 page application. It’s quite the application, so if you get half way and lose it, most will give up if they can’t recover. This is a needed addition.

Excellent plugin providing critically necessary functionality. We’ve got a client with a very long multi-page form requiring collection of documents and a bit of research on behalf of the visitor, making the Save and Continue functionality very handy. But many users would not understand the critical last step of saving the retrieval link or emailing it to themselves, and they’d be stuck (or worse, complain that the form is broken). This plugin has allowed our client to offer some assistance to those poor folks, instead of feeling helpless. Leland, it would be awesome if you could choose a merge field on the display page — that way we can thumb through the fields that have been filled out, making it easier to recognize the partial submission we’re after. If a visitor hasn’t filled out their email address on the recovery screen, we only have IP to go on (and most clients don’t know what to do with that). Thanks for a great plugin!
