There was no information about why the plugin had been removed for any of its users so I thought maybe you could help with that. * Gareth * [Benjamin Pick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benjamin4/) * (@benjamin4) * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-removed-11/#post-12574943) * So it was closed because the E-Mail adress of my other wordpress account has become invalid. It might take a few day until it will be re-opened, because it will be reviewed manually. Sorry for that! * [Gareth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/catapult_themes/) * (@catapult_themes) * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-removed-11/#post-12574963) * Thanks for letting us know. * [Carl Gross](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carlgross/) * (@carlgross) * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-removed-11/#post-12576700) * [@benjamin4](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benjamin4/) Thanks for the prompt updates–very reassuring. When the plugin is back in the WP plugin repo, can you update us here? Or maybe in a new forum post? * [Benjamin Pick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benjamin4/) * (@benjamin4) * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-removed-11/#post-12581331) * Yes I will … subscribe this thread and you will be notified 😉 * [Carl Gross](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carlgross/) * (@carlgross) * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-removed-11/#post-12582264) * Great thanks. I am indeed subscribed 🙂 * [mmpineda](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mmpineda/) * (@mmpineda) * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-removed-11/#post-12583720) * Subscribed * [audiowarrior](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zonwarrior/) * (@zonwarrior) * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-removed-11/#post-12585253) * [@benjamin4](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benjamin4/) Happy to see you’re still supporting this plugin! * Just curious, I notice you sometimes go on a hiatus weeks at a time. I’m assuming, you’re too busy with your day job to answer questions on the support forum? If so, do you offer “paid support” if we urgently need you in the future? Thank you, this is one of the best plugins out there. * [Benjamin Pick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benjamin4/) * (@benjamin4) * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-removed-11/#post-12585957) * @audiowarrior Good question and thanks! I have answered it in this thread: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/community-support-here-and-where-to-get-paid-support/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/community-support-here-and-where-to-get-paid-support/) * [Benjamin Pick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benjamin4/) * (@benjamin4) * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-removed-11/#post-12594896) * So the plugin is now back in directory. Every plugin that has been closed is reviewed again by both the wordpress team and the plugin author, that’s why I renamed the plugin (GeoIP is trademarked by Maxmind, so it can’t be used in the plugin name) and did some security hardening (it didn’t look like the issues that I improved can be used for an succesful exploit, but it’s always good to add extra security layers when possible). * [Carl Gross](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carlgross/) * (@carlgross) * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-removed-11/#post-12594969) * Great, thanks very much for that.
