Removal-risk signals

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 3+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.8.15.

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 simple plugin that does one thing and does it well. Nice one!

    When I try to upload, it adds a weird looking progress meter (I think it’s a progress meter, hard to tell), but it doesn’t ever increase in progress, it just sits there doing nothing. Doesn’t seem to work at all.
