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 7+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • No tested-up-to version. The listing declares no "Tested up to" version.

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 tend to shy away from plugins that are old and unsupported. But in this case, I couldnt really forsee a constant need for an update. considering its application is very simply… refresh! I works really well and I love how I can break it down to select widgets.. thank you for this great plugin!

    I have a text widget with PHP in, that makes a list from a database of events. I need to show all the events in the next 24 hours, accurate to the nearest minute. So this plugin is great, I just set the refresh to 30 seconds, and it is close enough. Boy did this save me time and effort. I was thinking of editing header.php and loading my own jQuery ajax script. Now I just Wash and Go 🙂
