Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance 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 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.5.20.

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.

Just started using SmugMug and this app is great. I wish it would have support for inserting slideshows (just generate the “Show off” code that SmugMug generates and insert it into post), and more importantly, choosing the featured image from my SmugMug.

Great tool so far. Easy to use. It took about an hour to learn.

I have been looking for a SmugMug plug-in for my WordPress Blog for the last 2 months and this is the one I have been looking for. It allows me to very easily add (embed) a link to one of my SmugMug gallery images in a WP post. I did not want to actually add the images to the WP Media files, so this is the perfect solution. Also you can configure details for the linked image such as the caption (use default or customize for this link) and what happens when image is clicked. Thanks very much and I hope you continue to develop and support this plug-in. Enhancement Request: It would be great if I had an option for the image “click” link to have it open in a new window. Currently, clicking on the image takes the user away from the blog post and to the SmugMug site. Feel free to contact me for details. Thanks!
