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 14+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.3.2, 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.

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 am thrilled. After trying all kinds of methods, from manual updates, to svn:externals to handle smooth upgrades in an environment with dev/stage/prod server managed via SVN, this plugin provides an elegant, natural solution. One nit-pick – it doesn’t alert SVN when a plugin is deleted. But then again, it never claimed it would do so 🙂 This is a minor issue in any case – SVN declares the resource as “missing” and easily deleted during next commit. Love it – thanks ever so much – will make a donation as soon as I get paid for the first job that uses this little beauty.

    Honestly, I would have been impressed if all it did was maintain .svn folders – but the plugin additionally gets the additions and deletions set up in svn? Bonus!
