Hi all — today my Wordfence scan threw up a message saying the bbPress plugin “appears to be abandoned” (last updated Nov 29, 2021, tested to WP 6.3.2) and labelled it under a “Vulnerability Scan” result. I’m surprised because I’ve been running bbPress on a few sites and didn’t expect that kind of warning.
Has anyone else seen this exact Wordfence message recently? I’m trying to understand whether this is a false positive from the scanner or if there really is an issue with maintainer activity/compatibility. A few quick notes about my setup that might matter:
WP version: 6.3.2
bbPress version: (latest I have installed)
Hosting: shared (no custom hardening beyond basic security plugin)
I’m mainly looking for other users’ experiences — did Wordfence give you the same warning? Did you find official confirmation about bbPress maintenance status, or any advisories/CVEs? Also curious if anyone can point to a reliable source that tracks plugin maintenance/activity (GitHub, WP plugin repo changelog, etc.) so I can verify on my own.
