- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.0.38, 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
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.

The people giving 5 stars to this are either bots or using it site wide. I wanted this for specific content. There are no instructions at all. Do not waste your time.

Ty for much I love how easy it is to set up!!! I love this plugin HINT!!!!! if you want login popup in the nav menu simply just add <a href="/wp-login.php" class="simplemodal-login">Login</a> under menu-custom links, the trick is to put the code under Navigation Label and leave the URL blank. So amazing that is has this feature really good job saved me countless hours.
