Future Updates Planned for Cerber?

There seemed to be a regular cadence of updates on this plugin for years, but nothing since February. Has the free version been abandoned since the conflict with Wordpress maintainers?

We use and love the plugin, but it would seem a security plugin would require frequent updates and I’ve never seen it go anywhere close to this long with no updates.

Thank you for reaching out and for your continued trust in WP Cerber.

I want to reassure you that WP Cerber is very much alive and actively maintained. Our team is constantly working to improve the plugin, and we’re committed to providing you with a strong and reliable security solution for your WordPress site. While we understand the recent pause in updates might be concerning — especially for a security plugin — please know that this doesn’t indicate any abandonment. In fact, we’ve been busy developing a new version packed with important enhancements and improvements, which is now in the final stages of preparation and will be released within the next few days.

Thank you for your patience, and stay tuned for the upcoming update! If you have any other questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Hello everyone,
I would also like to have information about the WP Cerber roadmap.
I love this plugin, and I would really hate to have to uninstall it from all of my clients’ websites.
I sincerely hope that someone from the staff will respond to this ticket because silence is a sign of abandonment.

Thank you for reaching out and for your kind words about WP Cerber!

I understand how important it is to have a clear roadmap, especially when managing security across multiple client websites. While we don’t have a public version of our roadmap yet, we do have a massive backlog of features and enhancements that we’re actively working on to keep the plugin strong and reliable. Please expect a new version of WP Cerber to be available in a few days

If you have any specific features or improvements you’d like to see, we are always open to feedback. And if there is a particular functionality you are re interested in, I am happy to provide more information and discuss it with you.

Hi Nick,
thank you for your response; it’s very reassuring to know that the plugin is actively maintained.

I don’t have any specific requests for new features; I’m just glad to know that WP Cerber is alive and well. I absolutely love the plugin, and it’s currently active on all of my clients’ WordPress sites (and there are many!).

I’m also looking forward to trying the new version. Based on my personal experience with WP Cerber, I’m confident that you’ve done all the necessary beta testing before releasing it, unlike some other developers who don’t dedicate enough time to this crucial part of the process. I really appreciate that as well.

I’m glad you are excited about the new version. We really put a lot of time into beta testing to make sure everything runs smoothly on as many platforms and WordPress versions as we can. Skipping over that step isn’t our style.

It’s also a good approach to enable notifications whenever a new version of WP Cerber is available or set up automatic updates in the plugin settings.: https://wpcerber.com/automatic-updates-for-wp-cerber/
