What happens to those plugins that close and on which we are totally dependent?

Hi @gwenm,

The message you’re seeing about plugin closures is indeed **temporary** and **pending a full review**. Let me explain why this happens:

1. WordPress Team Review:
– When a plugin is flagged for issues (such as security vulnerabilities, code quality, or policy violations), the **WordPress team** temporarily closes it.
– This action is taken to ensure the safety and reliability of plugins available in the WordPress ecosystem.
– The team reviews the plugin thoroughly to identify any issues that need addressing.

2. Developer’s Role:
– The closure is **not** a choice made by the developer. It’s initiated by the WordPress team.
– The developer receives an email outlining the problems detected in their plugin.
– Once the issues are fixed, the plugin undergoes a **second review** to ensure it meets all standards.

3. Plugin Restoration:
– If the developer successfully addresses the concerns, the plugin will be **reopened**.
– Users can expect the plugin to return once it passes the review process.
– So, there’s no need to worry; the plugin will likely come back once the issues are resolved.

4. Project Impact:
– I understand your concern, especially if your projects rely on these plugins.
– Rest assured that the WordPress team takes these closures seriously and aims to maintain a secure and high-quality plugin repository.

Remember, the closure is a proactive measure to maintain plugin quality, and the goal is to ensure a safe experience for WordPress users.

Hope this helps! ??

Hii @gwenm,

This occasionally occurs when a plugin’s developer removed it from www.ads-software.com or when the plugin is incompatible with latest?WordPress versions.?

If you already have the plugin, you don’t need to worry about it; however, you do need to make sure that it works properly with the most recent version of WordPress and doesn’t interfere with any of your site’s existing functionality.
However, you could look for an alternative of those WordPress plugins that are no longer available.

Thanks.

Hello, @addweb-solution-pvt-ltd

Yes, thank you very much, that answers my questions and I am completely satisfied with your management of plugins and security because it is very important and even vital for wordpress!

It took me more than 15 days to build my site and it was finished yesterday, and today there are no more plugins… I did so much research to create this site and I would have liked to be able to do it without plugins, as I like to do by injecting code into my function.php. But this time it wasn’t possible.

I hope the plugin I’m using will recover as soon as possible. I’m also thinking, “It’s a good thing this is a new site and doesn’t have hundreds of users!

Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate it ??

Hello @madhvi2299,

Unfortunately, there’s no alternative unless you spend a lot of money… I’d been researching such a site for over 15 days… I’ll wait patiently for it to be reinstated ??
