 * There have been many updates (and more significant ones on the horizon) to the
   plugin install process within the core of WordPress. As such, I have not had 
   time to keep up with those changes nor to maintain this plugin. 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.](https://wordpress.org/plugins/lock-your-updates/)**
 * I am sorry for this turn of events and thank all who have used this plugin – 
   while it lasted.
