Still broken for long plugin names

    This plugin is still broken for long plugin names. Since I reported this almost a year ago and it’s probably not that hard to fix, it’s kinda frustrating to see it still broken (frustrating, as in: thanks for providing this wonderful plugin for free, if it would only work without issues).

    ORIGINAL BUG REPORT:

    Works great – BUT it seems like you are limiting the number of chars for plugins to a number that is too low – some plugins have longer names than that, so it’s impossible to protect them with Plugin Protector.

    It seems the limit is currently 64 chars (or maybe even just 50) – please raise to a number that is safe. Thanks!

    There have been many updates (and more significant ones on the horizon) to the plugin install process within the core of WordPress. I have not had time to keep up with those changes or to maintain this plugin on the side. The following alert is posted on the description page:

    Alert: Plugin Protector may not protect your plugins, is no longer supported, and is due for retirement. For a suitable replacement, check out Lock Your Updates.

    I realize I should have also posted this as a stickied topic here in the support forum. I will do so now. I am sorry for this turn of events. Thank you for using the plugin – while it lasted.

    Thanks for your quick reply, as well as the recommended alternative. Good luck in your feature endeavours, and in maintaining that fancy beard of yours.

    Thank you for your understanding! And the fancy beard is now 3 times the length in my photo … we’ll give it at least one more Minnesota winter.
