High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance 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 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.6.30, 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 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 recent download trend is too spiky to read.

まさにずっと探していた機能でした。公開済みの固定ページをロング トランザクションで編集する機能をずっと探していて、これを見つけました。 要望ですが、ブランチを公開すると、元の記事を上書きしてブランチは削除しますが、ゴミ箱に残ったままとなります。元の投稿に上書きされたのですから、完全に削除でも良いかと思いました。 2014年10月7日 追加でコメントさせていただきます。 カスタム投稿タイプでしか試してませんが、カスタム フィールドの値はブランチ作成前の状態に戻り、適用できないようです。プラグインのバージョンは2.3.2です。Wordpressは3.8.4です。
