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 4.6.30, 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.

Release cadence

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 looking for a simple method to gather feedback from my readers. I didn’t expect them to write something (who has time for that?) I simply wanted them to click on something. All that star ratings stuff did not fit my needs because I wanted to provide some specific options such as “the post didn’t help me”, “the post sort of helped me” “the post was really helpful”. Simple Vote Me did the job very nicely. The default smiley images did not quite fit but the author made it very easy to replace them. I created some button style images with some text so I could communicate my questions/option for my readers. I’m happy! Thanks for the good work.

    Great plugin for our target audience of children. It was easy to change the icons to suit our needs. The support has also been very good.

    Hi, Gonzalo… I’ve already installed this great plugin to one of my site: http://www.postalescristianas.net/ And I would like suggest you to add a little descripcion to each smile o mood. If you do so, for example I can use for a happy smile icon the following text (Happy, I like, I love it, etc…) With This function the plugin will be more interactive and alive! Sorry for my inglish, In from Dominican Republic. Thanks, and God bless you
