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.

    The issue of text appearing up between two images (one floated left, one floated right) was driving me mad and would’ve looked awful to my client. This plugin quickly and easily solved it – thank you!!
