 * This plugin I’ve been using is suddenly unavailable:
 * This plugin was closed on January 28, 2018 and is no longer available for download.
 * Does anyone know what it means and how to fix this?
 * Thanks!

 * No, I think that was only meant to be a showcase or something for the original
   creator of the Playbuzz plugin…

 * Hi [@erez1983](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erez1983/) It looks like WordPress
   removed the plugin from the repo. The plugin author started a thread [HERE](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/why-playbuzz-plugin-removed/)
   and is trying to get it resolved. I suggest following the thread, or you may 
   also contact the author and see if they have an offline download. Be aware though,
   if WordPress removed a plugin without the author request, they may have found
   issues with it such as bad code or conflicting code with core. Keep that in mind
   as using an offline copy may cause issues on your site.
