Is this plugin dead?

  • Lots of old and unanswered topics which must lead to the question is this plugin supported or dead?

    I suggest that unless the plugin author responds in a timely manner this plugin should be considered expired.

    I would prefer that not to be the case, but common sense has to prevail.

    Do you have a problem that needs addressing or are you just opining about support?

    If you’ve a problem feel free to post a support topic.

    Thank you for your reply, although an answer to my question would have been nice.

    Here is the problem

    Wordfence, the most widely used WordPress security plugin complains about plugins that have not been modified for two years and verified as compatible with currrent WordPress version, and describes them as potentiallly abandoned.

    Your plugin falls into that category

    Please advise

    You misunderstand me: I’ve nothing to do with this plugin. I’m a forum moderator for the whole site. But I will try.

    I take exception to their practice and I have said so to them. Nicely; they’ve great support.

    A lack of code update does not signify anything and does not increase any risk of use for that plugin. Old code is not insecure by definition it just means it’s not updated.

    Many authors will periodically update the compatible field for the plugin without changing a single line of code. That eliminates the warning for the plugin on the plugin page on www.ads-software.com. I don’t know if that does anything to the Wordfence notice which kind of illustrates my point.
