no good news to report on someone taking over simple press.. exploring alternate methods there too for getting the word into different venues...
Do you have any contingency plans should the worst happen to leave the forum in place for an extended period of time to allow current users to have access to previous topics and solutions to their problems?

We had certainly hoped to have someone lined up to carry Simple:Press forward by this time now... So frankly, we do not... We have begun having those kind of discussions right now since we do need to address it soon given the current situation...
We have had multiple discussions with a couple of potentials in the last week but nothing to report there either...
We already know that we will keep the domain active through at least the end of the year... And I cant imagine the forums would just disappear or some sort of downloads wouldnt be available, but I just cant make any promises at this point...
I would expect us to start flowing out worst case scenario information in the next week or two... Sorry and thanks for sticking with us through the years...

This is sad. Less than a year after spending the money on the plugin bundle and we're going to be SOL. I suppose I should have paid closer attention. We decided that sooner rather than later was the time to find a replacement. 🙁 There is no replacement, really, so we will have to settle for less than.

OfflineI have to reiterate what I said some time earlier.
Just because we are closing down further development and support membership does not mean tha the plugin stops working on that day. The last main update we released was back in March 2017 - that is way over a year ago. There are few reasons anything should change in the coming year.
The main problem would be a major change in WordPress. Both of us here will be on the lookout for that as we both use SP on other websites. I will say now that if I find something I will try and fix it and publish that fix. But we will not be runnng the support forum or developing new features.
And we still very much hope to find someone/team to take it over.

Hi there, I just sent a contact form and I am interested in taking over the plugin development. Let me know if you are still interested.
Cheers

If you sent us a contact form, we have sent a first round email back and will get more details out likely on Saturday.. thanks!
For those following along, we posted over at WP Tavern about someone adopting Simple Press (https://wptavern.com/simplepre.....r-adoption) and have received a large amount of replies.. Good news for continuation...
More to come...

OfflineSpeaking as a gold subscriber - may I suggest you consider opening up all the forums for now until a transition is over. Subscriptions for most of us have expired in the last few weeks, and keeping open lines of communications in all forums (for now), even if technical support, would go a long way to showing that their is live continuing on.
Keeps people from getting a circle of, I need some support, but I can't buy support, (lather, rinse, repeat).

how to handle is being discussed... will also be a discussion point with the potential new developers we are talking to.. thanks for the input!

OfflineEven if not to give support but for at least everyone to see the ongoing communications until such time that a new developer puts in place their support rules/fees, etc.
