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 7+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.2.26, 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.

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

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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.

    I was struggling to find a reliable way to customize our website login page for returning customers. This was EXACTLY what I needed! It would be really cool if this plugin also offered options for borders and opacity, maybe in the next version?

    This does exactly what it says it does in a very simple fashion. It was everything I needed.

    This plugin is simple to use and provides an easy way to add basic customization to the WordPress login page. It also works with the “Password Protected” plugin! My only request is a few more options for controlling background image sizes and mobile responsiveness!!
