    Can anyone tell me why the HTST service was deprecated? I was utilizing it, but it is no longer available.

    Thanks!

    Hello @sasserp01 ,

    The service is actually abbreviated HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security). We removed it from the plugin because it may cause the website to be inaccessible, if it is active and the site’s SSL certificate has expired. We received such reports from customers.

    On the other hand, you can enable this service by adding such a header line in your .htaccess file: 

    <IfModule mod_headers.c>
    Header always set Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000"
</IfModule>

    You are most welcome, Patrick. I noticed the text in the changelog and this is already reported to the plugon developers.
