Safe exits for abandoned WordPress plugins

Is one of your WordPress plugins abandoned?

Plugin Lifeboat helps you safely move away from discontinued and unsupported plugins — without rebuilding your site.

The problem

When a plugin disappears, your content shouldn't.

WordPress plugins can be abandoned, removed, compromised, or simply stop working with modern WordPress. Replacing them can mean rebuilding years of content by hand. Plugin Lifeboat is designed to provide a safer route out.

A careful handoff

How a Lifeboat works

  1. 01

    Detect

    Identify the legacy plugin, its stored data, and where your site still uses it.

  2. 02

    Preserve

    Keep the content and relationships your site already depends on.

  3. 03

    Replace

    Provide a focused compatibility path to a maintained solution.

  4. 04

    Move on

    Safely retire the legacy plugin once your content has a stable way forward.
