High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance 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 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.1.42, 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 yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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
Est. acquisition value
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.

Hi, First time to do my first website for multiple vacation homes rentals, before to download vacation rental calendar, I want to make sure can import iCal link from the external website to sync the calendars into my wp website. Also, what will be the right version to have the download for multiple calendars (check-in, check-out, back to back) and can manually change rates after import ical link from external? Thanks, mimit63

Good idea here but plugin only allows for one calendar. If you have more than one property, this is no good. Also, no matter the size specified, the calendar displayed off the page. There is also no way to adjust colors.
