Title: Plugin Abandoned? Last modified: July 18, 2020 --- # Plugin Abandoned? * [kokuradesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kokuradesign/) * (@kokuradesign) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-abandoned-53/) * Wordfence warn me this plugin is abandoned: The Plugin “Featured Video Plus” appears to be abandoned (updated 18 de December de 2016, tested to WP 4.7.18). * My website relies on this feature in its main functionality. It uses the classic editor (no gutenberg) + elementor pro. Should I consider looking for an alternative? * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fplugin-abandoned-53%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * [chiaraparodi78](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chiaraparodi78/) * (@chiaraparodi78) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-abandoned-53/#post-13160311) * I have the same problem, the plugin is not working anymore.

Additionally, there is no reference on our published posts or on the blog roll of any videos that were selected to be “featured”. * For one of the many post’s we need help with, we chose to temporarily and manually re-embed the video into the single post in order for it to displayed when viewed in “single post”. But… of course this solution isn’t ideal, nor is it efficient to have to go back to every single post to edit. Plus, it still doesn’t solve that the videos aren’t being displayed as a featured video’s on our blog role. * Sincerely, Julie Nguyen - This reply was modified 5 years, 8 months ago by [creativemarblesconsultancy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/creativemarblesconsultancy/). * [niller56](https://wordpress.org/support/users/niller56/) * (@niller56) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-abandoned-53/#post-13258601) * Me to.

The best and easiest option would be just to mantain this plugin with the WP updates, without any new funtionalities, it’s perfect just as it is! * [@senator94](https://wordpress.org/support/users/senator94/) I would pay too. * Should we ask Alexander Höreth (developer of the plugin) if he would be interested in a small crowdfunding to keep it up to date? * [eclev91](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eclev91/) * (@eclev91) * [5 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-abandoned-53/#post-13573585) * [https://github.com/ethanclevenger91/featured-video-plus/](https://github.com/ethanclevenger91/featured-video-plus/) * Forked off a guy who did the actual work to fix the deprecation notice. Added composer support to his work. * [bitfenix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bitfenix/) * (@bitfenix) * [5 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-abandoned-53/#post-13597443) * That’s nice to see. But unfortunately, the plugin is buggy. When I change the featured video, still stays excerpt from the previous video description – for example. There’s some other bugs too. Sadly it’s abandoned, I would be happy to see this plugin updated and would gladly buy if it’s updated in premium version. * [niller56](https://wordpress.org/support/users/niller56/) * (@niller56) * [5 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-abandoned-53/#post-13597899) * Hi.

Unfortunately, this latest version is missing “Media Settings”, this one here [http://prntscr.com/v9knh3](http://prntscr.com/v9knh3) * [@niller56](https://wordpress.org/support/users/niller56/) * Do you mean a “WordPress Featured Video – VideographyWP” plugin? Seems you can’t set featured video instead of a post thumbnail?
