  • Long abandoned. No update in 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.5.20.

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.

    After changing over to the Woocommerce StoreFront theme, the Home page had many added sections that we did not want on that page. This plugin worked perfectly after loading it, I was able to just check the boxes and block all of the unwanted sections. Some minor tweaks are needed, but they do not affect the functionality or utility of this: If we show the Products block, it only displays a few things, so that should be controllable to display more. Tied to that, the plugin shows all of the products on the site and then you have to select each item individually if you want them on your Home page. There should be a “Select all” box at the top so if you want them all you don;t have to go through tens or hundreds of items.
