Why is Wordfence showing an abandoned plugin warning?

If you have Wordfence installed, after performing a scan, you may see a warning that certain FacetWP add-ons “appear to be abandoned”. Wordfence will show this warning when a plugin has not been updated in 2 years or more.

Rest assured, FacetWP does not have any abandoned add-ons. All add-ons mentioned on the Add-Ons page are maintained and kept up-to-date. Some just don’t need updates that often because they work fine as they are. We will update add-ons as needed.

Sometimes we may retire certain legacy add-ons, like the Pods add-on, but if that happens it will be removed from the Add-Ons page, and there will be a clear banner on the add-on’s page.

If you don’t like these Wordfence warnings, you can disable them in Wordfence under All options > Scan options > Scan for out of date, abandoned, and vulnerable plugins, themes, and WordPress versions.
