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 13+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.5.2, well behind 6.8.

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.

    Hi, Just tested your plugin on a demo site, it looks great and I´d love to use it on some of my clients sites, but: 1. It is not responsive. Massive problem. 2. When opening the register or login tab, it appears under my menu. I was using Canvas from WooThemes. However, great idea, I´ll keep updated for new versions if you fix those problems. Cheers

    This is a very swish plugin for login/register operations. It works well and looks great. That is except on a mobile! It gets in the way and its some of its featured operations just off screen on an iPhone. If the plug in cannot be made mobile friendly then it should at least have an option to check to exclude it from mobile deployment. I was going to post this in the support form for it on this site but see someone has with no replies at all. Support seems quite lax? Im looking to replace it now unfortunately

    From the box this plugin is very tidy, and easy to manipulate. I only wanted to show “login” as I will not have an open registration and that was VERY easy for me to remove with no help. I love that it has a forgot password option for if my users do forget it. The one issue that I had with this plugin is that when I was not logged in the top bar wass about double the size it should have been. Once I logged in then the problem was resolved. My problem is less than 1% of the people visiting my site will be logging in. The fix to this was very simple and I was able to use the support section to get my issue resolved. (How to fix below) I absolutely would recommend this plugin! You need to edit the .css for our plugin line 182 change the .tab height to 22px instead of 42px and you should get the result you are looking for. In other words this is the exact code I now have: .tab { height: 22px; position: relative; top: 0; z-index: 999; }

    This plugin has worked flawless on my blog, very simple/intuitive and good looking. Also, i have recently asked the developers to improve a little thing i had in mind. They responded in no time, and put it to work on the very next update. I gave 5 stars to this plugin. Efficient and professional developers. Congratulations.

    http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/2516/loginworks.png Check screen shot. it just worked in one click, but when i try to login- it doesnt show the User Id or the password as Astrix , but still if you put everything right it will log you in . I feel this is one small issue 2) how to change default landing page after Login out?
