 * I absolutely love webcomic and have used it a ton. I see that it hasn’t updated
   in over 2 years and was wondering if it is dead.
 * Would love to know. Keeping my eye open for it’s future replacement may be in
   my best interest if so.

 * Hey cookrite. Thanks for using Webcomic; I’m glad you love it!
 * Short Answer: Webcomic **is _not_ dead**. The current version works with WordPress
   4.8, and I’m actually (slowly, quietly) working on a major update right now (
   to be released as soon as I can finish the damn thing).
 * Slightly Longer Answer: Webcomic has gone so long without an update mostly for
   boring life-related reasons. It’s never been left for dead; it’s just been on
   an extended, unplanned hiatus. That technically ended about this time last year
   when I finally started working on a new version, but it’s taking a lot longer
   than I’d hoped (partially because of ongoing life-related reasons, and partially
   because doing a major update that actually doesn’t explode a bunch of sites is
   tough). Development continues, though; Webcomic has not been abandoned.

 * That’s awesome to hear. Thanks for getting back with me on this.
 * I completely understand the distraction of life. I greatly appreciate you not
   letting it go. It’s a great plug-in and I look forward to seeing what you deliver
   in the future.
 * Thanks!

 * I’m glad to hear it’s not “dead” as well having just chosen it for our webcomics.
   Though I must say I actually prefer simple plugins that do what they need to 
   and don’t get bloated with feature creep. Thanks for doing what you do.

 * Thanks jaysinb!
 * I think you’ll like Webcomic 5; I’m not really adding (too many) features. The
   main focus is refactoring the entire plugin so that it runs better and is easier
   to maintain going forward. I’d actually like to move some of Webcomic’s features
   into separate plugins (the Twitter integration, for example), but it’s almost
   impossible to untangle everything right now (which is a big part of what I’m 
   working on).
