High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance 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 4.8.30, 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.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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
Est. acquisition value
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.

It’s been three years since this was last updated and it’s still going strong, I really hope the author will keep up its development. I use this plugin to change all kinds of CSS features that otherwise I’d have no clue how to change, the interface is simple yet incredibly powerfull, if it stops working I@ll be in big trouble!

Everything worked great across all blogs on my multisite installation. It would be nice if you could use the following option: – choose relative directory in active theme (Ie. wp-content/themes/%themename%/functions/ As of right now you have to use a folder outside of the theme directory unless you wish to manually go into this plugins’ settings and change the directory since not all themes will have the same name.
