Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance 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 4+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.9.0.

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.

Great idea but I lost my original look on my main theme. Now I have to spend a lot of time trying to figure out what happened while trying out your plugin! This topic was modified 5 years, 10 months ago by PierM. This topic was modified 5 years, 10 months ago by PierM.

Gives the following error message: Notice: register_uninstall_hook was called incorrectly. Only a static class method or function can be used in an uninstall hook. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 3.1.0.) in /wp-includes/functions.php on line 4161 Easy enough to fix. Would be nice if it could be fixed to next update.

Exactly what it should do. I was surprised that it enabled features from the new test theme function.php and support for page template with out having to activate the theme site wide. Really great!

…you do not have a custom homepage. If you identify a specific home page then everyone sees it.
