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 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.9.31, well behind 6.8.

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

N/A

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    Thank you! Works perfectly right out of the box. Conditional Menus plugin failed. And If Menu plugin has no options at all. Working with Beaver Builder plugin and Beaver Builder theme.

    Zen Menu is not working after Enfold Theme’s last update. Are you planning to fix this problem soon? I disabled Zen Menu for now but need to use asap.

    Incredible happy to have found this plugin. I have tried it, and it works perfect. My website is being translated in several languages and as soon as that is done i will active Greg’s Plugin again and place individual menus. But please Greg, can you make this work on mobile phones also? It would be a huge improvement. I am willing to donate money for that, and i am sure others will to. Looking forward to a feedback on this from you.

    After looking at several plugins – some didn’t offer me page by page options – some allowed only excluding menu items not just menus… This was just what I was after and worked as expected. Just one thing I found – I had to have a default menu selected – which was a little illogical. Eg. Turn on ‘Menu 1’ as default so that on pages I could select to switch from this to ‘Menu 2’ Thanks for the plugin!

    I needed to be able to adjust the headers for pages that were translated into a different language and this plugin worked perfectly! Easy to install, select which menu you wanted to control, and then go to the pages I needed the alternative menu. Couldn’t have asked for an easier solution!
