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 4.3.34, 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.

Accessibility in slider is like the “Holy Grail”. and this one those it. It is very simple and clear – big like, it easy for non-tech customers Thing I DO NOT like: the height stay the same for mobile and desktop I wish I could stretch picture so it will fit the width. I do not mind that it will be cropped. I would like to be able to connect picture to page not anly for post. I knew, more feature and you lose the simplicity I like about this slide.

Just installed this and the customisation aspects are spot on well played people… Another cool add on which would easily be do-able 😉 is have a continuous auto slide carousel feature that also has a stepping kinda formation a bit like the slider on this page ive seen, ive looked for this effect on 30 or so sliders and none do it like this http://pongypig.wix.com/lcbsculpture Keep up the good work and nicely executed video/info too.
