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 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.3.23, 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.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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.

    Please ignore extra spaces, I have not managed to have wordpress.org let me put the code as it is in this post. [ [ Contact ] ] works fine but [ [ Contact | My contact page ] ] is not working, it displays Contact|My contact page with a question mark with the link to create a new post.

    This seems to still work on WP 4.2.4. pagetitle links to a such-titled page and other display text links to such-titled page while displaying other text. However the original description of the plugin is I think wrong when it says it allows such type links to “posts and pages.” As coded, it looks only for Pages, not for Posts. I modified the code to look instead only for Posts, not for Pages. I will be using only Posts for these types of links, so that’s good for me. If you need to use such type links that will link to any Page or Post with such title, you would need to do some more extensive re-coding, I think. The change I made is very simple. Look for this code … if ( $page = get_page_by_title(html_entity_decode($link, ENT_QUOTES))</blockquote> … and change it to this: if ( $page = get_page_by_title(html_entity_decode($link, ENT_QUOTES),OBJECT,post) Cheers.

    Can anyone clue me in on how to create lists for outside links like wikipedia, imdb etc? An example of each and where the list goes and how it is formated….

    Still works perfectly. I hope the developers continue development. I’m sure that “Two years since active development” warning is scaring a lot of people away.
