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 4.0.38, 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.

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

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.

    Works right out of the box! Only misgiving is that the plugin is out of date and the web link for detailed info is expired.

    YITH Zoom Magnifier stopped working with WooCommerce product variations. I tried a few other plugins, and they all didn’t work with variations (only the featured image would show up in the zoom window). Tried this plugin. It works with variation images. Simple setup, only two options.

    No programming needed, worked perfectly. I expected to play with it, configure the system to adapt but did not need to do so. I am on the latest version of woocommerce and wordpress. All I can say is major props and well done! Thank you, thank you, thank you,

    I don’t know if this plugin works. Probably it doesn’t work in WP 4.1, I don’t know. There is no clear explanation or tutorial on how to use it. The developer’s site only has some pics and not a real world demo.

    The plugin works and it’s exactly what I was looking for! The zoom effect is accurate and I like that you can also click on the image to enlarge it! Thank you!

    You people who are developing these plugins have made life so simple that we do not need any coding in wordpress – loved this plugin and it worked according to my need very first time. I installed activated and viewed my results. Thank you very much dear.
