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 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.9.31, 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

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

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.

    It seems unhappy with my site since I removed SSL/https. Maybe an uninstall / reinstall will work. Meanwhile, I was only able to log in anymore by setting the plugin folder permission to 000.

    I had same problem as @micha79 – had to gain SSH access to server and remove entire plugin manually. Do not install on your production server if you do not have FTP or SSH access!

    Causes a “503 temporarily not available” error when trying to log in with user name and password. Or simply redirected to the start page without login. This plugin was installed last and had to be manually removed via FTP access from the plugin folder of the WordPress installation, then the login worked again as before.

    We have a lot of techno phobic users who can never remember their usernames or passwords. This plugin is a lifesaver if I can prolong their sessions so that they almost never need to log in. Thanks!

    I installed about 6 days ago and it works perfectly. UPDATE… It went off after 6 days, I had it set to 60 days.

    Just installed this plugin and so far it’s working well, have to wait awhile to fully test the time settings, I’ve set the login time to 10 days 🙂 Great to have the different logout time for user role.
