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 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.

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.

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.

    I tried several times to use this plugin as I wanted a way to create my own widgets in Elementor. Unfortunately, each time I Activated the plugin it crashes the website ( White Screen of Death) You then have to go onto the server (luckily I have access), and rename the plugin to .bak so it gives you website admin access back. Then Delete the Plugin from the Server plugins folder. I didn’t purchase this plugin because I could not get it to work 🙁

    This plugin is too old and not worth installation and paying for the pro version.

    As soon as you activate this plugin it crashes your entire website and you cannot log in to Admin. I had to deactivate it via the Server by removing the plugin manually. Very disappointing !!

    I really wanted this to work, as it would add a lot of value for me. But….. When installing the plugin, as soon as you click ‘Activate’ it kills the entire website. You cannot access the WP Admin site or anything else. I had to contact my host to fix the issue. The error from the logs is: Fatal error: Access level to EWBPro\Modules\Custom_Widget\Source_EWB::get_current_tab_group() must be public (as in class Elementor\TemplateLibrary\Source_Local) in /var/www/wptbox/wp-content/plugins/elebuilder-pro/includes/custom-widget/source.php on line 469 I tried to report this to support, so I logged into my EleBuilder account. Clicking on the support link shows a blank page. Trying to perform any other operation in account results in the same thing: blank page. Digging further, the page has heaps of Javascript and other errors. So, I used the ‘Contact Us’ on the main website. Apparently my message was successfully submitted. Well that was about 4 days ago. No reply yet. To start the trial you need to supply your credit card details. Now, I want to cancel. But, the account page doesn’t work. Can’t contact support. This is a very bad experience. Warning: do not install this plugin, no matter how enticing it looks. Take a look at the messages in the support threads: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/widget-builder-for-elementor/

    I was on the lookout to create my own custom post widget in elementor and whenever I activated this plugin I get the “There has been a critical error on your website” message. And then I tried this again on a fresh WordPress install and received the same message. And then finally I deactivated this plugin through cpanel by renaming the folder (because my admin was inaccessible due to the error). And guess what, my website reverted back to normal. I hope you guys fix this and then I will edit my review. This has potential.

    A recent project required me to build custom widgets. This plugin combines the best UI I have seen with unlimited options for creating the perfect widgets. It’s a hidden gem!

    Makes it much easier to manage components of my website now. I used to have to go page by page whenever I edited anything. Now I can change my widget template and it changes everywhere
