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 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.0.38, well behind 6.8.

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

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.

    Was perfect. Just the size of the payment options are not equal size. Should be same size. Overall anyways is good. Thank you to the developer.

    It seems I misunderstand the function of this plugin… I thought it displays the accepted payment methods, but it does not! The plugins just extends the WooCommerce payment options with a setting to display payment icons, which the creator thought to be useful, indepedent from your shop settings. So this plugin is only useful if you only accept the follwing payment menthods: American Express, Bitcoin, BTC, Discover, Google, Maestro, MasterCard, MasterCard, PayPal, Visa. Additional Methods have to be requested.

    Unfortunately it half works, the images are all cut off (which is a common problem I see on the help forum). i guess it’s theme dependent, but this issue has been going on long enough for it to be resolved. great idea, just doesn’t work very well

    I really like the idea of this plugin, but unfortunately it doesn’t work. Or maybe it does, but doesn’t for me. I think it is very theme dependent. It will either work with your theme or it will not. I went through the support forum and found a few similar cases to mine. Big part of each icon is cut off in my theme. James reckons everything works well in his theme, so that’s why I get the impression that it depends on the theme you have installed if your payment icons will display correctly or not. Either way, I am giving 1 star out of 5. Great idea, but from the forums I believe that James knows that the bug is there for several months now, but I see no intention of fixing it ..
