A plugin is a promise that someone will keep it working. Too many WordPress plugins break that promise quietly: they stop getting updates, or they are sold and the new owner ships something you did not agree to. This pledge is how Plugevity keeps it, in writing.
It covers every plugin Plugevity publishes, free or paid.
1. No silent change of ownership
If Plugevity, or any of its plugins, is ever sold or transferred, we will announce it at least 90 days before the transfer takes effect:
- on this site,
- on the plugin’s WordPress.org page and changelog,
- inside the plugin’s own admin screen.
The announcement will say who the new owner is. You will have time to decide whether you trust them before their first update reaches your site.
2. No silent abandonment
If we decide to stop maintaining a plugin, we will say so at least 90 days in advance, ship a final release that works with the current WordPress and PHP versions, and then:
- publish the full source code in a public repository under the GPL, and
- hand the plugin and its name to a maintainer from the community, through the WordPress.org plugin adoption process, if someone credible wants it.
“Not updated in two years” will never be how you find out.
3. Honest about what runs on your site
- Plugevity plugins do not send data to Plugevity unless a feature clearly says so and you turn it on.
- They do not change, deactivate or update other plugins on their own.
- They follow the WordPress.org plugin guidelines, including no hidden upsells or nags in the dashboard.
4. Security problems get handled in the open
Report a vulnerability to security@plugevity.com. How we respond is on the security page.
