    We’ve been successfully using your “Heartbeat Control” plugin on several sites however no updates or maintenance has occurred since August 2023. WordFence has flagged it as abandoned.

    There are several support requests here without any response.

    Can you please confirm if you are still supporting the plugin or if it should be removed from WP.org so that we can source a replacement?

    Thank you very much.

    Interested to know if anyone’s switched to one that’s being maintained. TIA!

    The developers WPMedia can be contacted here: [email protected]

    After contacting the developers directly, I received the following reply assuring me that the plugin has not been abandoned.

    “Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concern.

    I completely understand why WordFence’s “abandoned” flag and the lack of recent updates might raise questions. Let me reassure you: the Heartbeat Control plugin is not abandoned.

    The reason you don’t see frequent updates is simply because of its nature. The Heartbeat API is a very stable and straightforward part of WordPress, so the plugin itself doesn’t usually require changes or ongoing maintenance. It continues to function as expected, without the need for constant updates like more complex plugins might require.

    That said, I’ve passed your feedback along to our development team so they’re aware of the concerns being raised.

    I hope this helps put your mind at ease, and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any other questions.”

    So we will continue to use the plugin as it works as intended.
