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 12+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.7.41, 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.

Oddly there are 6 reviews but it only displays a single review over and over. I have checked the # of reviews to 3 but continues to show only 1.

I chose this after Yelp Widget Pro wanted me to upgrade to the paid version in order to show reviews. This one does the job without demanding money from me. Way to go. Would get 5 stars if it had better styling options. Still, it was easy to install and works just like I wanted. Will use this on other sites. Easy to style if you write your own css. I added a border with padding to mine and eliminated the widget title area entirely. Looks decent enough that I can move on with the rest of my site. Thanks for keeping it simple. Installed and working on 3.8

Unsure why the other user gave it a 1. If you follow the Yelp developer steps and get your API key (http://www.yelp.ca/developers/request_apiv2_key), then you should have everything you need to make this plugin work. If you’re unsure what your API business URL is, it is formatted as such Regular url:http://www.yelp.ca/biz/pulp-and-pixel-creative-vancouver Business APU url: http://api.yelp.com/v2/business/pulp-and-pixel-creative-vancouver Pretty simple copy and paste! Thanks for the widget!

API problems, widget display but not reviews. Checked credentials multiple times, tried to install on multiple sites. Tried to get support but that got me no where. I don’t mean to bash I just am unsatisfied. !WRK4ME
