Plugin Reviews Disabled (And More about the Support Forums)


Reviews will be broken until about September 5.

This is directly related to the support forum maintenance.

Per @jmdodd:

We’ll do our best to keep this window short, but for now the choice was between closing reviews for 4 days or closing all of the support forums for 24 to 48 hours.

The Meta team felt (and I personally agree) that it is far more important to have support forums than the reviews. And the support forums were unsustainable. So while this is a wrench in your plugins, it’s far far better than no forums at all for Labor Day Weekend.

From @otto42

Consider this an announcement: all plugin/theme connections to the forums are currently considered broken. We expected that. It will take a few days to restore this, and that’s considered acceptable losses, for now. We will be working to fix these issues over the next few days, and it will be corrected as we get to it. In other words, we are aware of the issues and working to fix them.
