Removal-risk signals
45/100Maintenance 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 3+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.

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.

When building a website it’s nice to be able to see what shortcakes are available.

Very handy! It will be even better to have an option to view shortcodes grouped by origin (built-in, some plugin, some theme). Best regards! This topic was modified 8 years, 5 months ago by Kirr.

I was constantly looking up the shortcodes to use with various plugins, and wasting loads of time in the process. It was getting to the point where it almost would have been quicker to just re-write some of the more basic code myself rather than use the shortcodes. Shortcode Lister puts all the shortcodes right up front for me to see anytime I am adding a new page or post, or editing an existing one.
