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 12+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.6.1, well behind 6.8.

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.

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.

    When this plugin is enabled, Woocommerce prevents the shopfront from linking to any product you set up as name your own price

    This is a simple but effective plugin. Functionally it does exactly what i need. One strange User Experience concern that is a big one as it will lead to a decrease in sales: It allows you to set a minimum amount that you are willing to accept but on the product page it displays that amount as the ‘suggested price’ instead of the ‘minimum price’ I don’t want to suggest to my customers to pay the minimum amount. I want them to pay what they want. It would be great if this could be changed or better yet if we had the options to change that text ourselves. I know its prob an easy fix via CSS but I wouldn’t know how to do that. Thanks,

    Part of the plugin is printed to the html output!, both front end and control panel. Uninstalled and deleted. It’s a shame Update: ok, dsthedev is right, the problem are the PHP short tags. On my server I have disabled it, so obviously, the plugin is not working. I followed the recommendation of dsthedev and I edited the files that cause the problem. They are, as he says, the files: – name_price_wc_plugin.php (line 1) – \templates\single-product\price.php (lines 41 and 52) you have to change this: <? to this: <?php The plugin version of which I speak is the 1.7 And it solved. The plugin works well and does the job perfectly. It’s a shame to have this foolish error. I hope that in the next update the author corrected.

    Works as advertised. Only issue I had was that the plugin is using a few shorthand php opening tags <? when it should be using <?php. To users who see a wall of errors at the top of the page, try this: Open name_price_wc_plugin.php and change line 1 from <? to <?php Also open templates/single-product/price.php and change line 52 from <? } ?> to <?php } ?>. If this doesn’t help simply change the version to something old (1.0) and update the plugin, it will revert it back to normal. To the developer: please use full tags, always. Other than that, this plugin is great.

    When installed got the same mess as espiacongreso. Found the developer had used the php short open tags in a few places. After checking all of the php files and replacing the plugin works. Though having some difficulty with the plugin settings for the label. However a user is able to set their own price.

    I was excited to check out this plugin, but nothing appears on Front-end when activated and options chosen on product page. Will this plugin be upgraded to support latest Woocommerce release?
