Hello, 

We got a notification a few months ago that Simple:Press got delisted from Wordpress.org. 

Can you let me know if this will be listed again? Thanks!

Thanks for reaching out! Yes, unfortunately, the plugin has been temporarily delisted from the WordPress repository.

The initial issue was related to a missing nonce in the Simple:Press admin interface. While the vulnerability was low-risk and required very specific conditions, it could potentially allow malicious links to be executed by Forum Admins in the WordPress backend.

That said, there was a miscommunication on our end, and we missed the deadline to submit the fix within the given timeframe. As a result, the plugin is currently unavailable for download on WP.org.

Once a plugin is taken down, the review process becomes more thorough than simply addressing the reported issue. We're now not only resolving the original concern but also reviewing and updating the entire plugin to meet current WordPress coding and security standards. Even though many of these changes are unrelated to security, they are required for reinstatement.

We appreciate your patience and hope to have it back up soon!
