Explaining the “This plugin was closed” Situation

UPDATE (31st October 2018):

After many security fixes and about 100+ commits, we have submitted the plugin to the WordPress.org, they should be reviewing and hopefully re-approving in a day or two. We will keep updating this article as we have an update on this.

Hi Guys,

If you been to WordPress.org and noticed “This plugin was closed on October 21, 2018, and is no longer available for download.”

Then don’t panic, it’s just a temporary situation and will be solved in a couple of days with an update.
Meanwhile, you can continue to use the plugin as usual.

We’ve got a report from the WordPress that they found a security Vulnerability in our plugin which could be exploited by non-admins of the site, so to prevent the exploitation they temporary withdraw our plugin for further download. But the existing user’s will be able to use the plugin like always.

We’re already in the process of looking into the reported vulnerability and will submit the new code which will be reviewed and released within a couple of days so there’s no need to worry.

The plugin will be back online and will be much better so you can have the best AMP experience.

In MeanWhile, You can download and install our AMPforWP plugin from here.

We really appreciate your patience and we will appreciate your cooperation in this situation.
