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 3.9.40, 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.

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.

    Before calling CodeIgniter, I can not open The plugin Setting. 2 fatal errors occur: ( ! ) Fatal error: Uncaught ArgumentCountError: Too few arguments to function do_settings_fields(), 1 passed in /Users/fedibelkacem/Sites/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wp-igniter/templates/settings.php on line 5 and exactly 2 expected in /Users/fedibelkacem/Sites/wordpress/wp-admin/includes/template.php on line 1356 ( ! ) ArgumentCountError: Too few arguments to function do_settings_fields(), 1 passed in /Users/fedibelkacem/Sites/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wp-igniter/templates/settings.php on line 5 and exactly 2 expected in /Users/fedibelkacem/Sites/wordpress/wp-admin/includes/template.php on line 1356 I’m using WP 4.9.2 on PHP 7.1.19 on Mac and I would test the plugin with CodeIgniter 3.1.7. I also updated the last wp-igniter.php from GitHub, that of November 6, 2017. Both (old and new one) throw the Fatal errors. Would you please update the plugin?

    Integrates the powers of CodeIgniter with WordPress. If you face troubles with it, try to tick “CodeIgniter grabs all SEO urls (use with caution!!)” the caution remark could scare you away, but it is what actually makes it work!!!

    Saved me tons of effort. What I like best is that not only can you access CI from WordPress, but inside CI you also have access to all the WordPress APIs. That is a huge value for me, resolving all the dilemma of CI vs WordPress choice. Why choose when you can get both? Superb. Thanks. Tip to guys, the CI path must have a trailing slash

    A simple and really easy way to integrate Codeigniter into WordPress so that you get all the benefits from both platforms. One small thing that will help you, add include_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-includes/pluggable.php’); after if(!is_admin) which will stop you being logged out when you go to the front end This plugin lets you access all the WordPress functions, actions and filters in you ci app. You can use both $db and $wpdb – great if you want to use different databases. Gives you full access to CI helpers and libraries, great for custom form building with all the validation that ci offers. See the Github repo for more comments and work throughs. I’m not associated with this plugin ( see my profile for my plugins ) but would recommend it to all you CI fans ( and of course now that CI has a new home we all have hope !!! )
