High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance 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 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.4.34, 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.

I’ve been really impressed with this plugin. It’s lightweight, runs smoothly and does what it says on the tin. Also very easy to customise with CSS. My only suggestion would be that it would be great if the Description could be a WYSIWYG so that users can add links etc and more extended descriptions. Also it would be great to include a featured image for events that could appear upon hover, and on the individual event listings. All in all this is a really good option for projects that need a simple, easy to use events calendar but don’t require the complex functionality of the premium calendar plugins out there.
