Was wondering if you guys could UPDATE the plugin (been over 1 year I think)?

Just came here excited after reading this https://blog.mandrill.com/own-your-wordpress-email-with-mandrill.html

But I’ll have to test this VERY extensively before using on any client sites… looks like it needs a bit of attention, would be good to be tested up to WP4 at least ??

I have this plugin installed on a couple WordPress websites, running 4.1.1 and it works just fine. No problems. I know every installation is different, so I suggest thorough testing, but I can validate the functionality in stand-along WP installs, above version 4.

The only issues I’m currently seeing come with installations on WPMU.

@bamajr and others,

Yea. Single vanilla installs I think I agree. Once one begins to operate in a real environment with dynamic variables involved (like different themes or different combinations of plugins that is the true test in my opinion). That is the test of resilience, durability, and adaptability with any plugin (assuming you are using good quality other themes/plugins as well within reason).

Testing is such a pain to (having to disable and re-enable them one by one and changing themes etc). The is especially true with a multisite installation. I wish someone would develop a great theme and plugin diagnostic tool to get past the dark ages of having to manually disable and re-enable plugins and themes somehow . . . smile. Having a way to restore plugin setting to a prior time would also be of great benefit. Of course, easier said that done . . .

I run some multsite installs and that is where my issues are as well.

Also, I did reachout to Mandrill about this and they did say they area doing a major redesign of the Mandrill App plugin and were aware of some issues.

Hopefully that will come out very soon!

In addition to that post, I will add that I’ve seen delays on standard WordPress installations too, though normally not that long.

I wouldn’t call the WordPress installation at: https://bamajr.com vanilla. While I do my best to limit the plugins I install, it does have quite a bit of customization and this plugin has never failed me there. I have reviewed the plugin and reported slow reporting times, but that certainly shouldn’t be misconstrued as a failure to perform the tasks it advertises.
