    Please provide an update to the status of this plugin. Is there a security issue that users need to be be immediate aware of? Sudden removal from WordPress Plugins seems very suspicious,and we need an explanation ASAP. Thank you for understanding out extreme concern.

    Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

    As stated on the plugin page that the plugin closure is temporary due to not adhering to the WordPress development standards in some areas.

    I have resolved the concerning areas in the plugin code and now communicating with the www.ads-software.com plugin team to restore it that I hope will be done shortly.

    In the meanwhile, there is nothing to worry about but later do update the plugin to the latest version of the plugin after restoring it.

    Please advise if you have more questions.

    Have a fantastic day!

    Thanks for the update.
    I’ve swapped in a replacement search plugin already. When it comes to security concerns mitigation must move fast. I’ll continue to watch this plugin page, and once I see things have settled in I might swap Ivory Search plugin back in. Thanks for not taking days to respond!

    @ashes00 what search plugin did you switch to?

    The newly updated version of Ivory Search just crashed two of my sites. There’s another support thread discussing this.

    Autoupdatedd to the latest version today and took my entire multisite down.

    Not sure which is worse, the XSS vuln in the previous version, or the attempted fix for the problem.

    I am really sorry for the inconvenience caused by my silly mistake.

    When deploying the plugin the freemius SDK removed the premium plugin file but the file reference was still there that causing this major issue.

    It was my fault not to test it immediately after deployment.

    I have released the updated plugin version 4.8 containing the fix.

    I apologize to you for all the trouble that you faced.
