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 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.3.34, 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 year

How 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

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.

    Perfect when you don’t have the time/money for a job to develop this functionality yourself.

    Woah! With the last update, it’s really easy play with the elements of the isotope grid. Even for a newby. It’s a really good plugin witha smooth design a completely responsive in every device. And the support is good too. I would be awesome if for a future update, can add the possibility to expand and collapse the thumbnails in the same page to show a new content, because that was the only work that i could not do easily.

    This is a really nice, simple to use plugin! Thank you! I would love to be able to add additional elements via shortcode like post title, publish date, and excerpt, as well as the option to show the post thumbnail or not. Will these features likely be implemented in future versions?

    Thank god. Finally something really smart and simple. Please don’t add more option ;o) A shortcode attribute for inserting the post title would be great, though…

    Really really good! I love it! Just a few sugestions: It would be interesting to filter by multi tax, for example, filter courses by subject, than filter this ones by modality.
