Is Facebook Chat Plugin still maintained?
It has gone over two years without an update, and it has a second warning sign: service shut down.
Falling behind: WordPress or a service it relies on has moved on.
Placements are our opinion, based on public evidence. Risk here means a plugin may not get a fix if a problem appears. It doesn’t mean we found a flaw, unless we show an advisory. Going quiet alone never puts a plugin in Replace now.
Service
Meta’s Chat Plugin page said: “On May 9, 2024, you will no longer be able to access any of the functionality of the Chat Plugin.” Its current Messenger documentation no longer lists the plugin.
