Plugin No Longer Officially Supported

    Unfortunately going forward I will not be updating or supporting this plugin. I just don’t have the time required to properly give it the care it deserves, and given the recent introduction of Gutenberg (and my personal adoption of it for my sites) I now devote my time to my Accordion Blocks plugin.

    I will not be removing Accordion Shortcodes from the WordPress plugin repository, so you are free to continue using it if it meets your needs. Just know that I will not be updating it in the future.

  • My, my IT folks were quick to spot this! I’m now required to remove the plug-in, which breaks my entire website. I’m sure I can take a bit of time to figure out Plan B, but can anyone give me any tips on what that is? I’m not a coder, just a user!

    @drcyphert You’ll have to find a suitable alternative (searching for “accordion” on the plugin repo nets a lot of options) then find all places on your site that use this plugin’s shortcodes and replace them with the new accordions.

    I’m not sure why your IT team would have an issue with just leaving this plugin as it exists now though. If a security vulnerability were to be discovered (and I were alerted to it) I would push an update to fix that. I just won’t be adding any features, responding to support tickets, or ensuring the plugin continues to function with new versions of WordPress. Your IT team is also free to examine the code on Github if they want.

    That’s too bad, really like your plugin. And it still has a lot of value in the Gutenberg era: I’m using it primarily for TinyMCE in an ACF WYSIWYG field.
