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 9+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.7.35, 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.

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

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.

    Worked great for me. (WordPress 4.9.8) But be careful – it really does what it is supposed to do – replaces everything that matches your string. There’s not option to review the findings before you Accept. This would be a great enhancement for this plugin. When you press “Go!” you have no idea whether it will replace 1 string or 172. So be careful.

    Maybe it’s because I’m using 4.8 and this plugin was only tested up to 4.7.5 but this plugin did not do what it was supposed to do per the description – find and replace content in posts and pages. I was trying to replace a specific combination of words, so perhaps this plugin only works with one word at a time. Since there was basically no information about how this plugin might actually work “Go to Find and Replace menu” it’s possible that there are operators that would have changed the outcome but I would have no way of knowing.
