    HI there,

    I received a warning from WordFence saying that this plugin has unpatched security issues and may have compatibility problems with the current version of WordPress. It also says that the plugin “Easy Forms for Mailchimp” has been removed from www.ads-software.com but is still installed on my site.

    I’m using self hosting wordpress. Is there any alternative available for this plugin? I have my mailing list set up with MailChimp, and am unsure how I can can fix this issue.

    Thanks for any advice or help on this matter.

    Kind Regards,

    Ellis Derkx

  • When a plugin is removed from www.ads-software.com this does not affect websites where the plugin is already installed. It only prevents new users from installing it through the WordPress backend.

    Since running plugins with known vulnerabilites is definitely not recommended, I deleted the plugin from our websites and implemented an embedded signup form directly from Mailchimp.

    I also noticed that the website of the developers (Code Parrot) is no longer online. Therefore, I am not sure whether there will be a patched version of this plugin at all.
