 * No, this is not resolved. Just fix the plugin so that it works in all supported
   environments. (If it fails in unsupported platforms/environments, that’s OK. 
   But, disclose what you do not support.

 * No. Nothing to keep in mind. You are not following industry standard IT best 
   practices.
 * Something has gone awry since we first signed up with you.
 * But, things have taken a turn for the worse.
 * The industry no longer agrees with your practices, so we are going to choose 
   to drop you.

 * Thank you for your reply. It seems most serious and considerate. But, it does
   seem some industry standard testing methodologies that used to be employed might
   have gone wayside: ITIL V4, for example. AGIL methods? Are you using them? Regression
   analysis and testing? Github? (I can only hope.)
 * If there are “too many themes and plugins to keep up with,” then maybe you’re
   not keeping up.
 * Again, you should limit your scope of support — but make it clear what you support,
   to your end-users. Update your automated-testing to weed out unsupported devices
   and browsers, and to throw out an automated notice that can be used to inform
   end-users!
 * For example, in my line of IT dev work, we had to stop support on older versions
   of Apple software and completely stop support of Internet Explorer browsers. 
   This was several years ago. We were able to send a mass email to the entire enterprise(
   several tens of thousands of users) to update, or change, or go unspported.
 * But, it remains a stark example.
 * Your plugin update notices might need to include a notice of what still breaks,
   and why it breaks, and why it is NOT supported, or NO LONGER supported. Etc. 
   That kind of thing.
 * But, without such notices, the unexpected happens — everyone, everywhere just
   expects your plugins to magically work everywhere. That’s unrealistic.

 * Well, fortunately, for us — we have learned our lesson the hard way and have 
   not even attempted to try any updates, or tests, at all. Rather, we also are 
   relying on the reported stack traces, tests, and end-user reports to determine
   when the “dust has settled” on this update.
 * Once we see reports that no more fatal errors exist, we’ll begin our own testing
   regimen to confirm no more errors exist. And, we also have the paid version, 
   by the way, and utilize that for extended support once we actually begin our 
   own testing routines, using ITIL framework to ensure all parties are involved
   in the testing.
 * But, we start here, in the public domain to see what the larger population is
   experiencing first.
 * Unfortunately, this is not the first time this has happened with Events Calendar
   updates, and so we have let our IT team know to view all future plugin updates
   with a wary eye — watch the support forums first, then test in a staging/test
   environment.
 * But, lately, in the last 18 months, there have been at least two updates that
   have completely crashed websites — I mean literally wiped out the home page. 
   So, we’re not taking any chances.
 * I do have to say, this has been the most problematic plugin we use, when it comes
   to updates.
 * _** I strongly recommend improved testing methodologies that are based on knowledge
   of your overall audience.**_

 * I totally concur with [@tvalleau](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tvalleau/).
   This is ridiculous on Events Calendar development team’s part: Why “brag” about
   a new rollout with Version 6.1.1., if it still contains errors that already were
   reported in at least two previous releases in the same week?
 * I have asked my website team to consider cancelling our PRO subscription and 
   completely removing The Events Calendar from the website.
 * Totally crazy that these guys seem not to be testing thoroughly enough before
   new updates.

 * Thank you, Artem. I passed that link and information to the support engineer.
   I am hopeful they are already working on this, or will now be able to better 
   coordinate.
 * Thank you for posting to Github,as well. I think the Events Calendar developers
   will definitely take notice if it is on Github.

 * Hi, Artem:
 * We, too, are having the same conflict issue with Events Calendar Pro. We have
   an open support ticket with Modern Tribe (Events Calendar authors), and they 
   say they have not received anything from you regarding this conflict. Could you
   please let me know who at Modern Tribe you have reached out to? I will pass the
   contact information on to the support engineer that I am working with. The engineer
   is anxious to get this logged as a bug report, so they can fix it.
 * Thanks!

 * Yes, thanks for that tip.
 * But, we tried that about a year ago on two different websites.
 * So long as your plugin was either not present, or was inactive, the permissions
   stayed the same.
 * Also, when we contacted the web hosting company, they concluded that it was your
   plugin that was causing the permissions to change.They said they have nothing
   on their side of operations that would cause such a change every single day.
 * Unfortunately, we have lived with the daily, every morning, routine of resetting
   the permissions in order to enjoy the benefits of the rest of the plugin. But,
   it is getting tedious and time consuming at this point.

 * Unfortunately, after updating Wordfence yesterday to the latest version, this

 * For now, I have done as the Plugin Support guys have instructed, and have left
   Wordfence deactivated.
 * Please let us know if there is a better solution, or a fix for this. Once that
   comes about, I’ll reinstall Wordfence.

 * Hi,
 * This has been a great plugin, but today I received a security alert from Wordfence
   that this plugin has not been updated or tested in quite a while, and may pose
   a security risk as a result of being “abandoned.”
 * It appears the plugin is still being supported through the latest version of 
   WordPress. Can you tell us whether we can ignore the Wordfence alert? Or, is 
   there a suitable alternative to this plugin, if it no longer is supported?
 * Thanks!
