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 13+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.5.2, well behind 6.8.

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 works great for me and is a simple solution to a problem that many have been looking for. I don’t understand why something like this isn’t included in WP in the first place.

    Some people might find it confusing that the font size incrementor appears at the bottom of each post/page — even though when you increment it for one post/page, it takes effect on all posts/pages. You only have to do it once. Apart from that, it’s super simple, super powerful and just what I was looking for, no more, no less. Bolshoi Spasiba! Why Automattic hasn’t made this an option in Settings >> Writing is a mystery to moi.

    Love the concept of this plugin, but the user interface not so much. I had to go to the support forum just to figure out how to use it. Once I got past that confusion, I was happy with the performance.

    I was looking for this. I don’t know why, but the text editor font was almost unreadable. Added the plugin and it has made things so much easier. Thanks.!!!

    This is a great solution. It basically lets you pick from the styles in your stylesheet. (Paragraph, all the Heading tags, and a couple more). You can set the styles in your stylesheet with the font size, etc. and this will link to those presets. It’s clean, simple and the way I would have done this if I was building this plugin. Nice work.
