Has this plugin been abandoned?

Not abandoned, just doesn’t need any updates. Still works for me on many sites.

Ok thanks. It’s just security plugins give warnings about it not being up to date, so it is a risk to run this plugin. It would be a good idea to bump the version number, so the people who use this do not feel that it is a security risk to use it.

@philbuchanan Very glad to hear this as this is the best accordion block I’ve found. But, both the repo and my security plugins keep reporting that the plugin “appears to have been abandoned” due to no recent updates. It is working fine for me on many sites as well but a minor version bump would be helpful, as I’m having to manually ignore the issue on 100+ sites to keep my clients from freaking out over the warning icon. ??

Thanks for chipping in with your voice @shoelaced, I agree, a version bump would be much appreciated, valued and save some annoying work and confusion.

Hi Phil!

thanks for the great plugin, I think a new release, or also a fake update, could prevent many security warnings about plugin abandoned, please consider it! thank you

We’d also like to see an update to this plugin (if only a change to the “Tested up to:” in the readme.txt) to address these warnings like this one from Wordfence for example …

The Plugin “Accordion Blocks” appears to be abandoned (updated 7th February 2022, tested to WP 5.9.10).Type: Plugin Abandoned

In the meantime it looks like an experimental Accordion Block is ready to be tested in Gutenberg’s plugin on GitHub so it would seem there’s a native block coming soon.

In case anyone else finds this thread, we resolved the issue by replacing this plugin by using a bunch of WordPress core Details blocks. Guess that’s one less plugin to have installed.

Here’s a page to show it working …

Thank you Oliver, can you share more details about it?

OK, so rather than have one “Accordion” block, I just added a bunch of core Details blocks instead which worked for our requirements.

The only custom thing we had to do was to add some JavaScript to automatically close the other Details blocks when one was opened.

We actually added this as an option to the Details block in a plugin that we develop to make it easier for us to repeat in the future. If you’re interested I’m sure you can find the plugin on my www.ads-software.com bio but there may be other plugins out there that already do the same so don’t want to name drop ours.

We tried to get this option added to the core block over a year ago but the proposal was not deemed suitable which is why we’ve done it ourselves. As I’ve mentioned before, there will eventually be a core Accordion block I’m sure but for now this works for us.

Thanks for sharing you solution @domainsupport ??

yep! it seems a cool solution!
