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 9+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.8.30, 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.

How 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

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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 love this plugin, simply install and it’s there no setup required. Uses native emojis and that’s cool, if no emoji is present adds image.

    A good plugin for those clients who don’t know about existence of native emoji tools. Had a bit of trouble working with it in a Gravity forms content field, but the plugin still does what advertised, the icons and the UI are nice, and there’s almost no trouble with it.

    Nobody. But it is AWESOME! I love being able to grab a little extra somethin’-somethin’ in a blog post and drop in some emoji love. Sure, I could go on and on about the emergence of emmojis and it’s growing in importance for online communication. But that would be boring. Need an easy way to add emjois without needing to remember what WordPress has baked in? Install this joker. It’s awesome.

    Thanks for this nice plugin 💐. I do really like Emojicons, but I hate to use them. Well at least I usually have to search some database and copy-paste it (If you are not using Slack or something, is there a better way on desktops? Would love to hear about it.). Anyway, with this plugin, its becoming super fast and 😂 to do so.
