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 16+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 2.9.2, well behind 6.8.

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.

    Has many options not found in commercial TOC plugins. Selection of Excluded Pages could become difficult to use without wildcards. Excluded Pages very useful because there is no option for selecting a specific menu to generate a TOC. Would like to see Restrict path option as found in Table of Contents Plus plugin. I have not found a better TOC plugin for an online textbook.

    Es gibt fast nichts, was für die Sitemap nicht einstellbar wäre. Sehr gut gelungen!
