High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance 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 11+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.0.38, 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 yearHow 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
Est. acquisition value
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 used this one once upon a time and thought i give it a try although it hasnt been updated since 3 years. I did not test security issues with it, but it still just works (do not use it together with Yoast SEO, it adds its own editor there) 1 Star minus for not maintainig 1 Plus for making long lasting software 😉

I’m using this plugin for 2 years now and it never breaks. The plugin works with categories, tags and custom taxonomies, including media support!

Works great on the edit-tags.php page, but fails to implement TinyMCE on the “add new” form on the main tags/categories list page.
