    The SVN repo for this plugin has been broken for over 3 weeks now, and I am no longer able to update the plugin here. There are a couple of small bug fixes since the last version uploaded here, but I am unable to release them through this site any more. The support people here are either unwilling, or unable, to fix things, and have basically told me to stop contacting them after I tried following up several times to get this fixed. If they refuse to fix the issue, then I will need to move the plugin to my own site and create my own plugin updater (the same as my extensions) to release updates. Everyone will need to download that version from my site, if I decide to go that route, in order to get automatic updates in the future.
    The bug fixes in version 5.5.2 include an HTML fix for the main signup/list tables where there was a typo in the closing tbody tag, with the “t” left off, and would then not show any tables after the first one on some themes that didn’t automatically fix mismatched HTML tags. The second bug fix is for compatibility with the automatic signup feature for the new Waitlists extension, and is necessary for that to work correctly.

    I have temporarily uploaded the newest version of the plugin to my own server here:

    I finally got a message from the support team, and they are working to fix the issue, but it could still take weeks before they allow me to update the plugin again. Over the 11+ years of maintaining this plugin, the tags for versions are messed up, and many of them are nested/recursive with all the other tags inside of them, causing for an extremely large repo size. Still trying to straighten this out and figure out how the tags got that way, and how to prevent it in the future.
    In the meantime, please use the zip file linked in the first post to update to the latest version. Any other bug fixes or updates will be posted as a download link here until my access to the SVN repo is restored.

    A new small update has been uploaded that fixes an HTML layout issue for the User’s Signups List when you have the plugin set to use Divs instead of tables. You can download version 5.5.3 from the link below, since I am still unable to update the SVN repo here, and no response or update from the support team since my last post.

    IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Plugin updates are moving to GitHub!

    Please see the GitHub page for more info:

    https://github.com/dbarproductions/pta-volunteer-sign-up-sheets

    VERSION 5.5.5 Release includes important security update! Download via GitHub, or with the below link, and install over the old wordpress.org version:

    https://github.com/dbarproductions/pta-volunteer-sign-up-sheets/archive/refs/tags/5.5.5.zip

    Future Updates:
    Version 5.5.5 (download link above) now includes an automatic update checker that will notify you of new versions directly in your WordPress dashboard. Simply install this version to receive future update notifications. These updates will be served from the GitHub official repo instead of the wordpress.org SVN repo.

    Why the change?
    The SVN repo had become corrupted 3 months ago, and I have been locked out from making any updates or changes. The plugin team at wordpress.org has not been able to fix this in a timely manner, even after a minor security vulnerability was discovered, and so I’m forced to move the updates to GitHub to release the updates (including the security patch) and include a new updater that will get all future updates from the GitHub repo. This also makes it much easier for other developers to contribute to the plugin.

    Please hold off on installing the update from above, as GitHub is adding the version # to the end of the directory name in the source file it generates, causing it to install as a separate plugin and cause errors.

    Since the GitHub update method doesn’t work correctly for WordPress plugins, I’ll be moving this to my own server and serving updates the same way I do with the paid extensions. I will post an update here when the new version with the new updater is ready for download.

    Sorry for any inconvenience!

    Version 4.6.1 is now live on my own site and is a free purchase. A purchase is required to generate a lifetime license code, which you will need to enter in the new “License” tab on the plugin’s settings page to enable automatic updates for future releases. If you already own the Complete bundle, the license code for that will also work for the main plugin.

    Version typo in previous post (should have been 5.6.1), but up to version 5.6.4 as of this post. Downloads and all future updates will be handled through my own server as I am still locked out of the SVN repo here (for more than 3 months now).
