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 7+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.2.26, 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.

I’ve been trying to understand how to use this plugin for about 2 years. But in the end, I always find it easier to write my own queries. The plugin is great for simple queries via the widget, but for anything complex, it seems additional layer of “know-how” is needed as to adapt standard queries to the plugin. This is true for the shortcode, template tag, or widget. Either that or I’m just missing something, and it’s not for lack of looking! It’s a frustrating irony because I know it’s supposed to make queries easier, not more complicated! Still, I do find the widgets easy and very useful.

Does exactly what I need, with a lot of parameters available to tweak the output the way you want it, especially all of the before/after parameters, which really gave me a chance to fine-tune the output. The way I use it is on the homepage of a site, which is a static page that only displays the latest post in a specific category. My only suggestion would be to list all of the parameters for the shortcode on the FAQ page with a description of what they do. For example, what are the from, to, expired, and userfunction parameters used for?

I’ve tried several plugins aiming to the same king of thing and this one is definitely the best to me. Would just be great if the post thumb (when a post has one) would show aligned left. Apart from that, Awsome ! Thank you !
