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.

I’ve kept my original comments here but I am downgrading my rating. Basically, this plugin does not scrape the REPLIES to youtube comments. For me this is a major flaw since my replies to my comments on my youtube channel are important, especially if someone writes a negative comment. Please fix this and I’ll revise my rating once more. Cheers. Despite the lack of reviews and the out-of-date updates, this still works for WP 4.1.1. API has been updated to manage youtube’s v3. This is a powerful plugin with a lot of potential. There are just a couple of things that would make it even better: 1) Ability to add a title to the comments, like “Imported Youtube Comments”. Without this some users may get confused by the two different comment sections. 2) Move the youtube comments elsewhere on the post, like underneath the WP comments. 3) Import the youtube comments into the WP comments itself Aside from that this is a good plugin. I hope the dev continues to work on it. Thanks for your time.

We can add both video & video comments from someone else’s channel & doesn’t have to be our own. (Good for affiliates)

When posting YouTube videos on a blog it is great to be able to show the comments from the video. I tried this out before I switched to DeTube and was sad it didn’t work with that theme. Posted the issue to the author and he got it updated right away. 5 stars! Good work.
