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 17+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 2.7.1, well behind 6.8.
