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 15+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.2.1, well behind 6.8.

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 must say, I was extremely skeptical at giving this plugin a try at customizing each post’s and page’s tagline because it has been so long since there had been any updates or developments. This plugin works like a charm! It is highly easy to use. Simply find the meta box at the bottom of your WP post or page Edit page, and you’re in!!

    This is exactly what I was looking for in building a page for a company that consists of two other companies. With a custom tagline reader orientation rises 100% without a sweat. http://kkl.smmp.de/hufeland-klinik/
