    hello, Wordfence is flagging Genesis Simple Sidebars as an issue. Should I be concerned, can I continue to use this plugin?

    I'm getting a similar WordFence warning for Genesis Simple Hooks*, which we use on dozens of sites including a few of our own. Is there a best practice alternative we should be using, or will the Genesis plugins continue to receive ongoing support? Thanks in advance for a reply!

    * The Plugin "Genesis Simple Hooks" appears to be abandoned (updated April 13, 2020, tested to WP 5.4.10).

    I sent a request to support about this and other StudioPress plugins that have "been abandoned". I brought up the issue that Genesis may have moved on to Gutenberg blocks, but many clients can't afford to update their sites that are working perfectly fine with the classic editor and widgets. It would be nice if someone at StudioPress would just test these and update the "tested up to" section on WP.org as they are working fine - so the warnings would stop.

    If you have any response would you mind posting here or letting me know please.

    Genesis Simple Social Icons is another one I'm not sure about.
