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 11+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.2.39, well behind 6.8.

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.

    Thank you for the great work! The plugin allows integration with other plugins. We just implemented sending xAPI statements from Namaste! LMS through WP Experience API by adding triggers and it works like a charm. This plugin deserves far more popularity that it has.

    Really impressive, as I had about zero expectations that this would even function. What’s unbelievable about this add-in is that it is i) about one of two hits on “tin can” or “xapi” on plugins library (the other being one for the H5P connector); and ii) 20+ downloads in last 6 – 12 months this has been available. Makes me think that Tin Can doesn’t have much of a following (yet), but given SCORM is, or should be, dead or dying, would think only a matter of time. Suggests that there are fewer than 20 sites out there with i) non-PHP programmers managing them; and ii) any interest in sending standard “left a comment on my WP site” statements to an LRS. In any event, the plug-in does exactly what it should. I punched in some user codes for a GrassBlade LRS I have, and it worked just as you’d expect, so you can add that LRS to the list of “somewhat test” set-ups. (I used the API keys, etc. that were derived from spending $49.00 on that plugin — did see if more normal credentials would work or not.) Only reason not 5 stars, is that the plugin is just not that fully developed to allow for the range of interactions one might hope for. For instance, it did recognize the action of leaving a comment on a BBPress forum, but the title, but what showed up in the LRS as a “title” (I guess object of statement), didn’t seem quite connected to the specific page. As well, and in fairness to developer who certainly has not indicated otherwise, I use some random ratings plug-in (not the theme item specifically noted), and I can’t capture the action of “rating a post”, which is on my list of activities I’d like to track. In any event, all good. This plug-in would think deserves some more downloads and a few more reviews.
