Questions the author answers
Do you support older WordPress versions?
Version 6.x.x should support WP versions 4.0 and up. Version 4.7.0 should support WP versions 2.3 – 4.0.
Since WordPress is constantly changing, this plugin will always strive to support the latest version of WordPress. As there are many security vulnerabilities reported, please always keep WordPress as up-to-date as possible.
How do I change the WordPress update notification e-mail?
Go to the General tab in our settings. You can enter a single email address, or multiple if you comma-separate them.
