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 4.5.33, 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.

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.

    I really like this plugin. The only issue is that I tried to change the title text where the plugin says I should be able to but it didn’t work. So I had to modify the text via the php file, which isn’t ideal. I would also add that this plugin, while it doesn’t break my AMP pages or make the code invalid, it doesn’t look pretty on AMP either. This topic was modified 9 years, 8 months ago by plainplow. Reason: Wanted to add the bit about how it looks on AMP pages

    I installed this plugin and it looks great. It’s exactly what I need in a feedback plug-in. However, when I test the thumbs down feature to send feedback, I keep getting the message, “There was a problem. Please try again”. I went to the support forum and it seems this error is common. Each article used to address the situation was cut off. So, there is no way to diagnose the error. Great idea but poor support.

    People are hesitant about leaving comments so I thought I would give this a try. No conflicts. Would like ability to choose font and font size but for a start this is a nice plugin.

    The plugin does what it promises. It is simple and easy to use. I wish it had custom post types support too so that users can get feedback on not just articles but other content types as well.

    Awesome Plugin, this would be great for use in the article/ blog sites to provide perfect feedback for article writer or author.
