Plugin abandoned?

    Gday @labelblanc

    I love love love this plugin, but my software security scans report that it is abandoned and so is a security threat. I understand that even a beautifully perfect plugin will receive this report if (for example) it has not been updated in 2 years, yet it is actually still safe, the absence of an update still triggers this warning.

    My clients are not happy to continue unless the reports are clean, and I have no way to substantiate if the software is OK or not.

    I imagine this is the case for other developers using the plugin.

    Is there any chance you could submit a new version to the repository, to bring it up to date so that I can continue using it without the glaring reports?

    cheers, and thank you for such great functionality.

    cheers
    Darryl

    I just pushed an update. Only the readme file was updated (not the code), so the version number didn’t change.

    The plugin isn’t “abandoned”, but no new features will be developed. Also, it doesn’t work with the Gutenberg editor and a new WordPress 5 installation will use the Gutenberg editor by default, so I’m reluctant to mark the plugin as “compatible with WordPress 5”. So it may show a warning “This plugin hasn’t been tested with the latest WordPress versions…”
