I see no replies to issues in about 6 months. Issues with PHP warnings which I assume is from using PHP 8+. Hate to keep on site when seems no updates in past three (3) or so WP releases and PHP warnings. Is it safe to assume the plugin is stalled and no longer maintained? It is rather amazing that nothing appears to be happening and that a plugin author/maintainer can’t be bothered to reply to support questions, isn’t it? Not very respectful. Of course, when looking at the developer’s log, we can see version bumps, but communication is a nice concept. Warnings in PHP7 and server crashes. Seems unlikely that the developer is still really supporting this plugin. I’m not going to try to install it on my live PHP8 site, but let my customer know to find a different plugin. Updated a month ago, works up to WP 6.8.1. I was pleased to see the update notice on my site recently.
