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 9+ 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.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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.

    Every so often I have a notice within a page or post that needs to expire without me having to baby-sit and remember to remove it. And it may even be an annual recurring notice that I can easily re-institute on a new date. This plugin does the job. You will need to make sure you have the correct timezone set in your WordPress General Settings, or the start and end times may not work as expected. Other than that, it’s simple and straight-forward.

    I love this little plugin. It allows us to put random notes over the website about closings or other items, and it will automatically remove them when the time is up. It helps us make sure that our content is up to date. Works with 4.9.10.
