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 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.2.26, 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.

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.

    Not happy with the options you are providing. All needed features are pro only. 🙁 This topic was modified 9 years, 1 month ago by Lohith M.

    I love it. (I’m using the pro version by the way) It just does what it is supposed to do and it’s easy to implement. There’s just one ‘little’ thing I’d like to be added to it: a possibility to give different background-sets to either logged in and non-logged in users. And perhaps even some role/group-related backgrounds.

    I love this plugin! Full width! works on windows 10 and safari just as well! It’s kinda basic, that is why i gave 4 stars. Not much options of colors but the FULL SCREEN is such a plus! The best part is the SUPPORT! They changed the color to what i wanted and fix something to fit other browsers. Well educated and savvy support! I have already bought another plugin from them. Bravoooooo !! Thank you very much!!!

    I used the Unlimited Background Slider and had some trouble with the appearance of it in the Weaver Xtreme template, so sent a message. They helped me out through a teamviewer session and all got fixed in notime. Very fast reactions and superb outcome! Thanks to eDataStyle, well done! Regards,
