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

N/A

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.

    This plugin was really easy to organize the howto videos I collect from youtube. Very easy to install and sort the videos I like. It even displays the videos on my iphone!

    This plugin is really great for manually adding videos to yuor site, but i wish it had some automation features to put my site on auto-pilot … I’ve found this premium solution that does exactly the same stuff but with automation built in. Besides, it has some other cool features. It’s called WP VIDEO ROBOT, you can check it out here : http://www.wpvr.co Cheers !

    I have always had a hard time adding my youtube videos to wordpress. I wanted to have all of my favourite videos in one “gallery” and couldnt figure out how to do that. Videonab makes it really easy.

    This plugin works great, just as expected. About 2 minutes to setup, a few more to add my videos, and everything else was automatic. The videos look great in my theme, and I was surprised how many features this has for a free plugin. I use it for my tutorial site as I have about 2 dozen videos on YouTube, which I’ve always wanted to organize on my site. This plugin made it easy.
