High removal-risk signals

63/100

Maintenance 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 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.9.31, 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 year
from wp.org release tags

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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.

    Several prior complaints about it “not showing up” (?) But works fine for me (Oct 2020). Install to plugins. Activate. Control it through Appearance > “Customiser”, and then through Widgets.

    I tried removing all of my CSS and other plugins just to make sure, but as of WordPress 5.3 this plugin doesn’t work. Kind of disappointing since I found this plugin on woocommerce.com

    I was hoping to use this with Storefront theme. It appears in the customizer, but nothing shows up on home page. Many comments in the support that are a year old, with no updates.

    Works on WP version 4.9.2 and WC version 3.2.6 even thought it’s not been tested. I would have thought you would add the widgets on the same area as the colours and background.

    I have the storefront theme installed, but when I activate this and check it out on the customizer/preview area, it doesn’t show up on any page or post. What am I doing wrong here? EDIT: After an update, I now see the “Footer Bar” widget area to place content in. Works as expected now. This topic was modified 9 years ago by Alison.
