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 3.5.2, 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.

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

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.

    Came bundled with a theme but only works in browser uploader, not in drag-and-drop multi-file uploader. Even then often does not work so it is quicker and more certain to just edit thumbnails by hand individually.

    It’s very useful plugin. I always settting to “top center”. Usage notes It seems that it is not set in the media library.

    Re-uploading 100+ images was really out of the question. This plugin allows you to set the crop of existing images. The only unusual thing is that you have to set the aspect ratio via number. It would be easier if the drag view would set it. But I can live with it.

    Doesn’t seem to do anything for me. Although it may be a theme issue.
