Removal-risk signals
45/100Maintenance 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 3+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.

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 yearHow 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.

The notifications on the backend pages are not hidden, so it actually adds more clutter.

This plugin doesn’t actually hide the messages, it just adds a notification dropdown in the top bar. I’d love to give it 5 stars if it would remove the messages on the pages and allow actions in the notification dropdown.

This plugin doesn’t disable any of notifications, plus, it adds a tab to collect all the notifications!

If you have a lot of plugins the admin can get overrun with admin notices, this plugin cleans things up nicely. Thank You

Best way to bulk remove the annoying notifications in a multisite environment. Network activate and enjoy.

This works great! For too long those nag messages have been so annoying… and more and more we are not able to dismiss them at all. At last we can clean up the top of our admin area. I’m definitely in favour of being able to dismiss those notices as well.

Polluted WP Admin seems to be a hot topic at the mo. This plugin does the trick, keeping things tidy in the admin and avoid scaring off clients or getting panic emails from them.
