    Hello everybody,

    I have been using P2P for many years in my personal website and sometimes I am really scared about the possibility that one day it will become useless… So I prefer to anticipate and do something !

    Can you tell me if it is possible to export the relations we made with P2P and use them with another plugin ? If that is possible, which plugin could it be ?

    Regards, Guillermo

    Hello!

    P2P is used by many people, is very simple, and it is being maintained. Never fear!

    I couldn’t tell you how to replace it and that’s one of the reasons we keep it up ??

    For export you would need to get into the database.

    Hello @alexrollin !

    It was not clear for me that the plugin was maintained after @scribu leaves the project. So that’s really great news !

    I definitely cannot imagine how an export from the database could be used later with another plugin, as you can do with some other plugins that are intended for same functionalities (as multilanguage plugins or events plugins)…

    I really hope that P2P will last forever !

    If it is still being maintained, then you ought to change the website. See: https://scribu.net/wordpress/posts-to-posts/

    PMJI : I’m not related at all to this project. I just came here after not looking at this project for a couple years – and I’m really happy to see it’s being maintained. Sure, the situation is a little confusing but current and accurate information isn’t tough to find.

    If it is still being maintained, then you ought to change the website. See: https://scribu.net/wordpress/posts-to-posts/

    But that’s not the website of the current maintainers. The home page for this plugin says:

    Support & Maintenance:

    AyeCode Ltd have committed to security and maintenance updates due to this plugins requirement in our List Manager Extension.

    ~~I, scribu, will not be offering support (either free or paid) for this plugin anymore.~~

    If you want to help maintain the plugin, fork it on github and open pull requests.

    As noted in another thread here, the correct GitHub repo is here. When we install and update the plugin, we get that version, not the version offered by Scribu.

    Perhaps it would be appropriate now for @ayecode, @stiofansisland, @alexrollin, etc to update the plugin page, change the “By Scribu” to “By AyeCode, originally authored by Scribu”, and change all links and info so that Scribu isn’t referenced anymore as an active contact … but of course ensure proper attribution for his original work and efforts. Then port the wiki and other resources to Github.

    Maybe this could be done as a v2.0 offering with testing up to WP v6.0.1.

    We still need to acknowledge that AyeCode is not enhancing this plugin, just maintaining it. That should help anyone who thinks it’s “dead”. It’s not dead, there’s no need to dump it. It’s just not advancing with new development, “yet” anyway. There’s a big difference. And the commitment to basic maintenance should be good enough for newcomers and existing users alike, until someone else adopts the plugin, or until a new offering comes around, maybe based on this core or otherwise.

    In the meantime, let’s cut um some slack, forgive some old links, and just bear with the situation until it changes. Hey, it’s all free.

    HTH
