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 8+ 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.

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

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.

    According to my use of RSS, this plugin provides enough options and functionalities as I need. However there are maybe few bugs like feeds name that can’t contain another feed name whereas I add something else. In fact, it lacks a way (like a checkbox) to hide each information : feed name, author, copyright, price, image, timestamp, body… Yeah, I use only titles. #minimalism

    Plugin does not work on multi-site (WPMU) Plugin cannot be network activated (loses the ability to manage feeds on all sites) When individually activated feeds are visible to all sites but only includes content on site 0 Developers website won’t accept comments because the Captcha is broken.

    Very easy to use plugin. Gets the job done well with a lot of customization options. The only negative I noticed is the page is slow to load (I have about 10 RSS feeds pulling in).

    It simply works. The problem is it is too simple. Feeds are separated, which means that this plugin shows posts from feed A, then posts from feed B, and so on.

    Easy to configure and it works. There may be “fancier” plugins with more options, but if you need one that works reliably, this is the one.
