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 9+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.7.35, 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.

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

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.

    Brilliant plugin if you need to go back and trim revision count from say, 10 to 2. Box at foot of each post lets you trash any individual revision(s). Causes no issues with database – unlike Simple Revisions Control which screwed the database and wiped out 30MB of images.

    This is the first plugin for listing revisions that I found that worked for Pages as well (have tried several plugins that actually worked for posts, not pages). The only thing is that after installation you see nothing in All pages, even the default WordPress Revisions option on the Edit page screen is gone. After setting values in Settings, Revision settings, the plugin works, at least in WordPress 5.2.3 that is the case. So I set all the Maximum revisions to -1 (keep all) and then the revisions were shown per page. Also, in contrast to another plugin I tested, if you set the amount of versions per page, lets say to 2, and you have 5 revisions on that page, after a refresh 3 revisions are gone (really gone, tested). I hope this plugin keeps working, since it is not updated anymore.

    Yay! WooCommerce product revisions are tremendously useful which are not included into WooCommerce by default. This plugin fills the gap. Well done!

    Works very well and is easy to set the post type revision options as well as control revisions per post. This topic was modified 9 years, 4 months ago by Luke Cavanagh. Reason: clarify wording
