Is this a security risk

    SeedProd coming soon is always inactivated in my plugin by default, yet site health status flags it as a security risk because it’s inactive. Can I keep this plugin inactive since it’s the default state of this plugin without causing a security risk?

  • Hi @stemsrus,

    SeedProd’s Coming Soon plugin is actively maintained and updated, and keeping it inactive should not pose a security risk for your website.

    The WordPress ‘Site Health’ section advises removing inactive plugins to minimize potential vulnerabilities. Please note that inactive plugins, especially those that are not properly maintained (or have known issues) can expose your website to security risks. We recommend keeping all plugins updated (even if they are not active) to minimize any potential security threats.

    Please let me know if you have any further questions.

    Kind regards,

    Thanks for the clarification on inactive plugins. I appreciate the explanation, and that your plugin is actively maintained!
