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 9+ 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.
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.

1st: The plugin does not work. You enter the search information and click “Compare Prices” button and it just resets the form. No search. 2. They do not support the plugin. Look at the 5 star (!!) review from Travelgrove on here – They outright say they aren’t going to support the plugin for their own service. 3. Their affiliate website is completely broken, and has no CSS. (As of this writing) 4. The only things that do work on their website are their own affiliate links to outside websites like Travelocity and Expedia… and my own affiliate code was not included in that link, so basically, I think this plugin is a scam to up their own affiliate revenue and nothing for me. They require an incredible amount of personal information to sign up to be an affiliate, which is perfectly acceptable. However I should have checked out this plugin before I provided it. I went into my account and “scrambled” all my info because I’m concerned it’s in the hands of dishonest people now. I uninstalled it.

I have sent more than a three email to, but never answered ! There is nothing to know about how they will pay out my commissions.. So do not use affiliate program, untill it is not cleared before

Dear All, A few notes from Travelgrove’s End – since we are extremely busy nowadays support for this plugin is rather limited or paused. The plugin should usually work perfectly and it does with common WordPress istallations – if it does not that denotes a conflict with theme or other plugins which we might not be able to track down one by one. Regarding personal information, that’s a must for all of our partners and it’s also common business standard and practice. Regarding declined publishers, our geographical target is the United States, so sits not falling under that condition might be declined. Best Regards, The Travelgrove Team.

I am sure this works well but the compare button does not work and what good is that if that doesn’t work. Plus who si getting the revenue when the consumer buys a ticket from the travel website? Plus you have to give this travelgrove personal information to join. Has anyone made money off of this?

This is a great plugin that fills a real need. We had some problems getting it to work due to issues with our site, and Travel Search staff was incredibly helpful in tracking down the problem for us. Highly recommended!
