 * Hello,
 * Since WP 4.2 introduced a new way of updating the plugins which breaks your plugin,
   I wonder if you are going to release an update so that it’s working again?
 * Thanks
    Nils

 * Argh. That is a great question. It’ll be a bit, but I’ll get to it eventually.
   Headed on a month-long trip to remote Africa in just over a week. Thanks for 
   pointing this out.

 * Okay, would be great if you get it done. Meanwhile I’ll check for a lock icon
   before updating. This plugin definitely needs more attention! 🙂
 * Have a good and save trip!

 * I am getting the following error:
 * PHP Fatal error: Class ‘PPr_List_Table’ not found in plugin-protector.php on 
   line 309
 * …but I am getting it in 4.1.5 as well, so not sure if it is related.
 * Either way, fantastic plugin (at least in theory) and yes, have a safe trip!

   on the horizon. Almost have it set to work with WP 4.2 (and hopefully beyond).

 * Okay. Should work with v4.2 now. Let me know if you encounter issues. Probably
   a bug here/there, but at least protection should be back.

 * Works great – BUT it seems like you are limiting the number of chars for plugins
   to a number that is too low – some plugins have longer names than that, so it’s
   impossible to protect them with Plugin Protector.
 * It seems the limit is currently 64 chars (or maybe even just 50) – please raise
   to a number that is safe. Thanks!

 * [@yosmc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yosmc/) • Interesting. I’ll have
   to look into that. Thanks for the report.
