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 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.4.34, 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.
What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

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.

Worked well when I installed it years ago, but it has stopped working now. Looks like the author has abandoned it as the plugin site no longer exists and the plugin itself hasn’t been updated in ages. Don’t install.

After adding family members stopped working, no pro available, official website donesn´t exist anymore, no support, just don´t waste your time installing it.

Works great. I had difficulty to understand where and how to add famil-tree root but figured without support. I wish pro version was not $150. I will just wait for someone else to come up with a plugin in next few years …

I installed this software thinking it was going to be great considering the number of downloads. The problem is that there is no support (unless you pay about 50$) and the only information you are given is “buy the pro version” for 150$. This is a total ripoff and part of what makes WordPress plugins so terrible.

I had a problem installing this plugin on 4.1 and wrote Arvind and it was resolved quickly. Love that type of response, thanks Arvind!

The plugin works fine in 3.8.1 and it is a pleasure to see pictures when you move the mouse on the family tree. Unfortunately, it is not ready to translate so it is not very nice when visitors are not English!

It is a nice toy, it does work But does not work well for my case where i have almost 4000 people. a) The people all show up in one page, b) the dropdown has everyone’s name in it, c) There is no security to speak off, d) there is no support for searching the data eg all family members who names begins with, etc
