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 11+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.2.39, 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.

    I can’t remember if I’ve ever left a review. This plugin works in October 2021 perfectly. I tried five other tooltip plugins and each didn’t work or where too much (like automatically making every time the word was mentioned into a tooltip). This gives you an easy-to-use shortcode and enough styling options without having to code.

    This works very well and does exactly as it says and in a simple way. I’ve tried other ones which just don’t cut it. Unfortunately it doesn’t work for me as I want to click on the “post title” with it and it can’t do that (and every other one I’ve tried doesn’t either)
