Removal-risk signals
51/100Maintenance 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 11+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- No tested-up-to version. The listing declares no "Tested up to" version.

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 best carousel in my opinion. Sure instructions are light, but check out the github page. Also noticed if not working change your theme, it might be your theme? Change to the WP generic to test. If I could hook it up with Featured Video Plus plugin then boom. Hint, hint.

1. Create a Slick category "Slick Carousel -> Categories" 2. Create gallery images by Slick Carousel -> Add New – Upload a featured image – assign it to the Slick category you created (I called mine “clients”) 3. Slick Caorusel -> Settings. Change what you want. 4. [slick-carousel category="clients"]
