WordPress 7

@chefspuntozero
I’m NOT the developer of this plugin, just another contributor on these forums.

You can get better answers from other people if you ask clearer questions. Here are some ideas:

– Why are you asking about “support for WordPress 7”? Have you (a) upgraded to 7.0 and noted some problems? Or did you (b) just look at the value “Tested up to”?

In case of (a): If you provide more details, then other people may actually help you better. What theme and what plugins are you using? How does the problem occur?

In case of (b): If this plugin works well with WordPress 6.9, then I’d expect it to function well with 7.0, too. Here’s why:
– WordPress uses its own version numbering system. There are only two levels, “major” versions and “minor” versions. Major versions introduce new functionality, whereas minor versions mostly fix errors and problems, but strive to never introduce anything new. Major versions have two numbers, like “6.9”, or “7.0”. In other words, 7.0 is just as much a new major version as 6.9 was. Yes, it may be tempting to squeeze in some extra functionality when you’ve got a nice “x.0”, but, as much as possible, WordPress always avoids breaking stuff that used to work (more technically speaking: if some functionality needs to be changed or discontinued in a “breaking” way, developers will usually be aware of that well in advance).
– To my knowledge, version 7.0 didn’t contain any big changes in the authentication area (except for adding a structured approach for connecting WordPress to and from external (AI) agents. The parts of WordPress APIs that this plugin uses, are mostly unchanged.
– The “Tested up to” is just a text declaration from the developer. They may simply want to wait a bit after 7.0 has been launched, and if the support forum doesn’t blow up with issues (which it didn’t, despite this plugin has a sizeable installation count), then you may safely assume that 7.0 isn’t a problem. With so many users, you can expect the plugin to behave nicely with a lot of different themes and other plugins, with various web host configurations and various PHP versions. In other words, next time they push some updates to the plugin, they’ll probably increment the “Tested up to”, as well.
