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 9+ 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.

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 year

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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.

    Thank you very much. I am building a site to upload and search large amounts of PDF documents in Japanese. Some of the characters copy and paste from the PDF title, PDF content, file name, etc. to the WordPress post title did not match the search due to NFD. *Copy and paste is done on Windows. *Copying and pasting from a Mac file name or folder name always results in NFD. It’s working with WordPress 5.3.2. Thanks to this plugin, the NFD title problem has been solved. We hope that you can continue the maintenance. I want to donation too. The page I referred to in this issue. https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/30130 Thanks and Regards, yumsun This topic was modified 6 years, 4 months ago by yumsun.
