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 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.3.23, 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.

Release cadence

No release in a year

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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

N/A

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    Can’t segment the groups meaning you can’t just blast 1 group instead off all of them. I guess it’s better than nothing but i wish it was updated or the creater would answer me

    The author obviously thinks the issue mentioned by Sublines is not worth looking into. Therefor I’ll have to give a 1 str so he can start noticing. Everytime you update a post, the notification gets sent to all the subscribers AGAIN. If I decide to make 100 changes that day, the subscribrs will get 100 emails. Its just rediculous. Also, lately, the sending doesnt work, so I dont think its compatible with my current WP installation 4.4.1

    Hey, first of all I want to thank you for making this Plugin, it works great and is easy to use. I would just ask for one change: When an author makes a change to an article that has already been published, the plugin still sends an Email that a new article has been published. But when you work with several authors it happens a lot hat they correct spelling mistakes and other minor changes after the have already published the post. It seems a bit unnessary that all users get notifies about these changes as if it was a new post. Would be great if you had an idea how to change that. Thanks again!
