    As of today, this plugin was last updated 5 months ago. It is getting to the point of getting concerned for the stability of the plugin.

    Does the plugin developer, “WPMU DEV” for this “Custom Sidebars – Dynamic Widget Area Manager”, have any plans to update this plugin to be compatible to the current WordPress version?

  • Hi @mwarbinek,

    The plugin is still being supported and there weren’t any reports of issues specific to the latest WP releases.
    If you’re having any problems on your end do let us know and we will gladly look into it further.

    Cheers,

    Thanks for the reply, but I need to confirm something.

    What reports? – do you refer to reports from users or reports from your own tests?

    If you refer to user reports, then how does this work if there are no user reports for a year or more, how does the plugin status get updated just the same so it shows as current to the WordPress version?

    Thanks

    Hello @mwarbinek

    What reports? – do you refer to reports from users or reports from your own tests?

    We’re closely following this forum (as well as all the messages that we’re receiving over e-mail) and react to all the issues reported that way in relation to the plugin. We’re also following all the PHP and WordPress updates to stay on top of that.

    If there’s any issue – a bug or core incompatibility or a security issue – reported to us or detected/suspected by us, our developers address that and we release update to the plugin.

    how does the plugin status get updated just the same so it shows as current to the WordPress version?

    Plugin – any plugin – doesn’t have to “have status updated” to show as “current”. You’ll only see a message that update is needed in your site’s backend if an update was released but plugin wasn’t yet updated on your site.

    Kind regards,

    Allow me to give you some feedback regarding the visible status of plugin.

    Me and many many others view the current status of a plugin as a mark of ongoing support.

    This means that when we seek a plugin like yours and see that it has reached 6 months+ of no updates, based on knowing that other plugins get updated during that time, then to us that status is “old” and likely “unsupported” and that makes the plugin “untrustworthy”.

    Just because www.ads-software.com has such poor requirements for “status” of a plugin, does not mean you (a well known developer) should follow such low standards. Instead should work to keep a higher standard as “showing the plugin is still current” by simply doing something to create an updated status, even if that update is only to change its “current” status.

    Keep in mind as you read this, the majority of people using plugins are NOT developers, nor do they know what rules www.ads-software.com has for developers. They do require visible assurance a plugin is reliable. – it means you (developer) need to set an example.

    This is the main reason I came here and posted the question for a confirmation, because it was evident you wouldn’t have.

    Now this post topic/string is closed

    Thank-you.

    Hello @mwarbinek,

    I hope you’re doing well!

    Thank you for your feedback, we really appreciate it. Currently, the plugin is working well with the latest version of WordPress and PHP. In a case, if the plugin will not be working with WordPress/PHP we will release a new version ??

    We really appreciate your concern! Have a good day and take care!

    Kind regards,
    Nastia
