Feature Me No Longer Supported

Hi everyone! Developer of Feature Me here!

As some may have noticed, Feature Me hasn’t had an update in A LONG TIME. A big part of this is because I’m spending all day working on my day job which is building WordPress websites.

Since creating Feature Me, there have been several advancements to WordPress including the addition of the customizer…which Feature Me won’t work on because it was built before the customizer existed.

Additionally there have been several advancements to my own skills and abilities. Looking at the code I wrote nearly 4 years ago proves how far I’ve come!

Feature Me still works…if you only use it from the Widget section haha…

Additionally, updating the plugin causes some issues…1) the code isn’t great and needs to be refactored. 2) Early on, I encouraged people to edit the actual plugin CSS from within their website…which is a terrible idea because it means any time the plugin gets updated all those changes will be lost…

I’ve toyed around with a complete re-write that would include a migration pathway to prevent admins from losing any css customizations they made…but I have no timeline on when or if that would happen.

If you use Feature Me, THANK YOU for using it! If it works for you GREAT! If you are looking to use Feature Me for creating quick CTA’s for your widget areas you can give it a shot, but there are other options out there that can do the job as well that are actually updated ??

Make it a great day!
