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 7+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.0.27, 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 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.

Updates posts/pages great but after save the page auto scrolls to the foot of the first (main) text editor field. But I have long pages with multiple text editor areas created with ‘Advanced Custom Fields’ plugin. Downloaded this hoping to avoid scrolling up to ‘Update’ button and scrolling down again on these long multi input pages. The plugin does the scroll up and click BUT page then auto scrolls to first text editor field (default wp behaviour? i don’t see it in js), so I lose my place on the admin screen. Thanks, but works 50% for me on long pages. This topic was modified 8 years, 4 months ago by redsalmon.
