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 7+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.2.26, 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.

This is a not updated plugins. I tried it with WordPress 5.6.1. The plugin generated too long excerpts including the tags of WP Bakery visual composer. Luckily I had made a backup of the database!

Site I was building needed excerpts. I generated them… I deleted a few. Tried to save new ACF content… nothing saves anymore. Everything is broken. Have to redo hours of work. This topic was modified 6 years ago by JPPdesigns.

This plugin can delete the custom post type name field when pressing a wrong button rendering your website broken!

Excerpt generation is totally bugged now, can’t delete the bugged excerpts the plugin has generated, etc. DO NOT USE.

All it does is adding a <br/> in the excerpt field. Doesn’t work. Waste of time.

Although WordPress knows generate excerpts with some of its functions, this plugin is much better and really helps get the result we want. I love the fact that we can keep the HTML code and manage the created excerpts. Wonderful job, thanks a lot!

Needed a solution where I work to maintain hyperlinks in post excerpts. I took a stab at updating our theme to adjust filters. Then I discovered you would need to be concerned with losing closing tags in an excerpt. This plugin solved the problem. The partial setting for Keeping HTML in an excerpt includes the A HREF tag. So this plugin can be used instead of having to modify the theme. Love it!
