Title: How Current Is This Plugin? Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # How Current Is This Plugin? * [kirkward](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kirkward/) * (@kirkward) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-current-is-this-plugin/) * I notice that the plugin has not been updated in approximately nine months. Is it current, and is it expected to be maintained as an ongoing project? * I am constructing a new network of sites and was just updated to WP 4.3 automatically. With the three BIG names behind this plugin, I feel good about using it, but wanted to get my egg bag salved before I committed. * Cheers, Kirk * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/) Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) * Plugin Author [Ron Rennick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmuguru/) * (@wpmuguru) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-current-is-this-plugin/#post-6452745) * Arbitrary URLs is going to be added to core WP in version 4.4.
