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 11+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.1.42, 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 year

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

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. 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.

    This looks like a good piece of software. Too bad after you give them all your info the site is a broken back end with no support. Now this company has all my info and I have nothing to show for it. User Beware!

    Love this. We use Yellow Schedule on our website to take bookings from clients who need hourly phone consultations. The appointment scheduler lets us take payments so that our time is not blocked off and the clients never shows up. This was a massive hassle before. Clients sometimes feel that because they didn’t pay for their slot, they can just not show up. That’s gone with the new booking system. Since Google Helpouts has gone, this is our new appointment calendar. Integrates perfectly with our WP site. Highly recommended!
