👋 Is this project still supported?

[MTphilclothier]

Just wondering if this project is dead? No releases in 2 years...

Does anyone know of an alternative repo available?

Hi @MTphilclothier,

Yes, the project is still supported and we would very much welcome PRs for the few (minor) bugs which have been reported in the past two years, but more than anything, TGMPA still works as it should, so - aside from those minor bugs - no active development is needed at this time.

Just wanted to chime in. I'm currently testing the plugin for different stuff and it has all it needs. Honestly, there's no need for an update, unless something in Core changes.

Checking in on this again, about a year later.

I see a small number of commits since, but most issues remain stagnant. If this needs some volunteers, sign me up.

@cliffordp The answer is largely still the same. Generally speaking TGMPA still just works and not much is currently needed in terms of updates.

Having said that, there are some open issues I'd very much would like to see investigated and if necessary, solved, before releasing a new version. Any and all volunteer help in the form of testing and confirming the issues, adding additional information to the issues, including steps to reproduce the issue, and if possible/necessary: creating PRs to fix these issues would be very welcome.

The issues which are on the top of my list are:

• Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'focus' of undefined  #660
• Plugin install button doesn't fire in thickbox modal #649
• Redirects not working after installing plugins in bulk  #641
• check_admin_referer fails if plugin activatin is attempted via TGMPA #621
• Fix load textdomain #601 (related How to load an existing translation ? #656, Wrongly named languages included with custom download? #611)
• Wordpress 5.1 #774

Please do keep in mind when working on an issue that TGMPA is intended to be cross-version compatible with multiple WP versions. The current minimum supported version is WP 3.7.0.

I'd be open to up that version to a more recent one if there are good reasons to do so, but even then, I think raising the minimum version beyond 4.8 would need very good arguments.

Really appreciate the detailed answer. None of these are things that are of interest to my use and a point of view like don't fix it if it's not broken wasn't really what I personally wanted to hear. That being said, I'll help if I come across one of these.

@cliffordp Just out of curiousity: what did you want/expect to hear ?

[cliffordp]

More eager to enhance functionality than just maintain

[jrfnl]

@cliffordp Well, that would require a non-public answer, sorry. DM me on Twitter if you like.

@cliffordp Your Dms don't appear to be open.... @jrf_nl

SSL is not working anymore for https://tgmpluginactivation.com/. So is this plugin still maintained or are people usings other methods for packaging WP theme and plugin installs these days?
