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 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.3.34, well behind 6.8.

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. 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.

    Works fine on 4.4.5 But what about translating strings of admin section? And why no possibility to add own custom strings? Or I missed something?

    It looked like the simplest and easiest plugin but unfortunatelly, I could not even test it… I get a fatal error trying to activate it Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘ in /home/defiesta/public_html/shop/wp-content/plugins/simple-string-manager/mainpage.php on line 119
