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 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.7.35, well behind 6.8.

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    This plugin is merely making a copy of a category with different name and slug. While cloning should result in the same slug and a name (thus CLONE).

    I love this plugin … finally, something smart and simple that duplicates any taxonomy term or category. Took me months to find this plugin; for the life of me I couldn’t work out that ‘term duplicator’ is what I should have been looking for … I kept searching for copy category, or clone category, maybe some extra text or keywords could be added to the plugin page ? … Not sure how many people need this plugin, but i did and it is a life saver, so thank you 🙂 One slight issue is that when you have clicked the link to duplicate your chosen category/term(s), you have to be careful not to use that admin page again as the instruction to duplicate the term (I presume) is still in the url address (as part of the query string) … This means that if you do do something else on the same page you end up with more and more duplicate copies of the same term. It took a while to work out what was going on. It would be good if this error could be fixed if the plugin is still supported, as it is almost perfect.
