Is YITH WooCommerce Wishlist still maintained?
Yes. The WordPress.org directory shows the last release of YITH WooCommerce Wishlist on 19 October 2026, tested up to WordPress 7.1.3. On the evidence the directory publishes, there is nothing here that should worry you.
The evidence
Every figure below is read from the WordPress.org plugin directory. Nothing here is our assessment of the code.
| Last release | 19 October 2026 (less than a month ago) |
|---|---|
| Current version | 4.19.1 |
| Tested up to | WordPress 7.1.3 (current is 7.1.3) |
| Requires PHP | 8.0 |
| Active installs | At least 400,000 sites (the directory reports a rounded floor, not an exact count) |
| Support threads | 6 in the last two months, too few for the share resolved to mean much |
| Directory status | Listed |

YITH WooCommerce Wishlist’s release history
| Listed in the directory since | 29 May 2013 |
|---|---|
| Tags in the archive | 110, the oldest left being 2.1.0 (3 April 2017) |
| Tagged in the year to 21 October 2026 | 13 |
| Read from | plugins.svn.wordpress.org/yith-woocommerce-wishlist, counting tags up to 21 October 2026 to match the table above |
The last five tags in YITH WooCommerce Wishlist's archive up to 21 October 2026 are 4.17.0 (21 July 2026), 4.18.0 (26 August 2026), 4.18.1 (7 September 2026), 4.19.0 (2 October 2026) and 4.19.1 (19 October 2026).
The longest stretch between two tags still in the archive is 8 months, from 2.1.2 (11 May 2017) to 2.2.0 (11 January 2018).
Tag dates, almost always the day a release shipped. Authors can delete old tags, so the count is the tags left, not every release ever made.
What these signals mean
Two things the directory publishes say a plugin is being kept up, and this one shows both: a recent release, and a tested-up-to version close to current WordPress. Neither is about the quality of the code. They are about whether anyone will be there when something changes underneath it.
That is worth checking again in a year rather than treating as settled. Plugins change hands, authors move on, and a plugin that is maintained today is not automatically maintained at the next WordPress release.
What to do about it
Nothing. Keep it updated and check again in a year.
If you are choosing between this and something else, the maintenance signals here are the ones worth weighing: they say more about whether the plugin will still work after the next WordPress release than a feature comparison does.
Is a site you look after running YITH WooCommerce Wishlist?
Our free WordPress plugin checker reads any public site and lists the plugins it loads, with the same maintenance signals as the table above for each one. No login and no signup, so it works on a client’s site before you have access to it.
How YITH WooCommerce Wishlist compares in its category
The WordPress.org directory files YITH WooCommerce Wishlist under the "wishlist-for-woocommerce" tag. We read the first 24 plugins the directory lists there and kept the ones that have shipped a release in the last year and are installed on at least 10,000 sites. Each author picks their own plugin's tags, so sharing one means two plugins are listed side by side, not that they do the same job.
None of them besides YITH WooCommerce Wishlist passed both tests, so there is nothing in its own directory category to set it against. That says something about the tag rather than about YITH WooCommerce Wishlist: either it holds few plugins of that size, or the ones it holds have not released in the last year, and the listing does not say which. If you are weighing YITH WooCommerce Wishlist against a plugin from elsewhere, judge that one on the same signals this page reads.

When was YITH WooCommerce Wishlist last updated?
The WordPress.org directory records its most recent release as 19 October 2026. That date is read from the directory each time this page is built, and the page states when it was read.
How can I tell if a WordPress plugin is still maintained?
Three things, all published by the directory on the plugin's own listing: how long ago the last release was, which WordPress version the author says they tested against, and whether the directory still lists it. None of them is about code quality. Together they say whether anybody will be there when PHP or WordPress changes underneath the plugin, which is what actually decides whether it keeps working.
Is YITH WooCommerce Wishlist a security risk?
We do not know, and nothing on this page is a security finding. Vulnerability data for WordPress plugins sits behind paid commercial APIs, and guessing at it from a version number either alarms people about plugins that are fine or implies that everything unflagged has been checked and is safe. Both are worse than saying nothing. What this page reports is maintenance: when the plugin last shipped, which WordPress version its author last tested against, and whether the directory still lists it. Those are facts the directory publishes, and they are what predicts whether a plugin will still work after the next core release.
Read from the WordPress.org plugin directory on 21 October 2026. We report maintenance signals only, and never claim a plugin is insecure. All plugins we cover.
