• Hello, I’m using this plugin on a few sites. Wordfence notified me that it has been removed from wordpress. Is the issue security related?

    Hi there, @jaredatch took over the plugin from me about 3 years ago. Therefore I can only assume it was closed by him. Other than that I know nothing else about it unfortunately.

    OK thanks for replying, I’ll wait to see if he says anything.

    I’m unaware of the plugin being removed.

    While there have been no big updates or releases, the plugin is very much still used by people, including some of my clients.

    To my knowledge the only reason plugins are closed are due to security issues, though I have no been in contact by anyone from the WP.org plugin team.

    So, unfortunately, I have no idea. If it was closed due to an issue with the plugin it has not been communicated to me, unfortunately.

    Sounds like if you’re unaware of it that it would be a security issue, that or something related to terms of service.

    According to Wordfence anyway:

    This means that a plugin is no longer available to install from www.remarpro.com. Plugins can be removed from www.remarpro.com for a variety of reasons, including that the author intentionally stopped its development or converted it to a “paid only” plugin. A plugin can also be removed if it violates www.remarpro.coms terms of service or if it contains vulnerabilities. If it contains vulnerabilities, it may be restored to the repository within a few days. As a general recommendation, unless you are familiar with the code in the plugin, we suggest that plugins that have been removed from the www.remarpro.com repository are removed from your site.
