I am using Google Language Translator on my wordpress website. I noticed that there is a new version since a few days ago.
But the plugin is no longer in the Wordpress plugin repository.
Why is this? Does it mean it has security problems?
Should I take it off?
(creator of plugin: http://studio88design.com/wordpress-plugins/google-language-translator/)
After release of version 5.0.11, the author (that's me) had his Wordpress.org account hacked, which prompted Wordpress.org to de-list the plugin temporarily. However, Wordpress and the developer worked out the issues and the plugin has been relisted.
Most current version is 5.0.22 at time of this answer.

I was doing a routine update procedure on a WordPress website and then I just simply updated the WordPress website and everything started to fell, well all the links are now not loading from the domain itself but instead form a weird domain that seems to be like a CDN but it's actually nothing I have attached console logs so anyone can help me as the styles and all the CSS files are not loading that is making everything worse.
Thanks
The wp.com domain is owned by Automattic, a popular Wordpress commercial service provider (Wordpress.com, WooCommerce, WooThemes, and others). Are you using their plugin Jetpack ? I have been reading forum threads lately of people having similar issues and they were all using the Jetpack plugin with its CDN option enabled.
There is a setting to disable the CDN in Jetpack that may fix this issue. However, some are not able to resolve the issue this way. In this case, I've seen Automattic staff members encouraging people to file a support ticket for one-on-one support.
You are using jetpack plugin
disable CDN option
or you can paste the CSS into Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS to provide a temporary fix.
Recently I have Wordpress version to 4.9.4 and my existing website was running on 4.7.4.
My Query is Display Posts Shortcode plug-in is compatible up to 4.8.4. If I update to WordPress version 4.9.4 does it create any issues.?
Having WordPress plugin incompatible with WordPress versions often create unnecessary issues.
It would be better to wait for the new version of the plugin that is compatible with the new version of the WordPress.
You can also check the Github Documentation of that plugin if it is available on Github or raise a ticket on their website.
Hope this might help.
usually no major changes accrue in core files of wordpress when you update to newer version and it always work fine but it is recommended to have a database backup before updating to new version.
Well written plugins rarely break with a new version of WordPress. I generally install new versions of WordPress as soon as they are released.
That said, the best practice is to install the new version of anything (WordPress core, plugins, themes) on a test version of your site before installing on your live site.
Also, you should have reliable backups in place, and know how to restore from them quickly if you run into any issues.
Answer as too long for comment:
Most plugins are compatible with later WP versions than "tested to" indicates. Plugin authors (including me) do not spend time modifying the "tested to WP version" whenever a new version of WP is released; but only update this detail when they make changes to the code.
Normally the best place for an answer should be at the the plugin's support forum but as the author failed to reply to a query about compatibility with 4.9.1 you'll probably get no help there.
Educated guess is that it is compatible. Plugin has over 100k users, but other than this question (user does not identify WP version, no author response, maybe user specific?) the support forum has no recent posts about the plugin being broken; and later posts with questions about functionality are by people using WP 4.9.4 implying it is working for them.
If I was in your shoes (and didn't have a separate test site) I would risk the Wordpress update. Additionally for security it is always wise to have an up to date version of Wordpress (4.7.4. known vulnerabilities).
My question relates to this post here (Fishpig's Wordpress):
Full Magento / Wordpress integration
I've installed this plugin and almost everything is working well. I've been trying to run wordpress plugins within the blog, but these were not showing up. No issues on the installation process.
Are there any further steps I have to take or is it generally not possible?
It's generally not possible is the short answer to that I'm afraid. In full integration mode your Wordpress themes and plugins will not function as they normally do as the whole thing is running through Magento.
All in One SEO will work, support for it has been added to the Magento module. Fishpig has produced a couple of additional Magento modules which can be installed and will support additional Wordpress plugins. Indeed, this is a way for them to monetise the work that's gone into it all, so I am hoping there will be more on the way. I've got the Next Gen plugin which works well, I can recommend that. There's also a Pinterest plugin and Advanced Custom Fields;

http://fishpig.co.uk/wordpress-integration-advanced-custom-fields.html
http://fishpig.co.uk/wordpress-integration-nextgen-gallery.html
To have a fully functional Wordpress site you will have to set it to semi integration mode and do a matching Wordpress theme I'm afraid.
I was able to export the blog from a wordpress.com site to a self-hosted one.
However, I am having issues installing the 'CORE widgets' (http://en.support.wordpress.com/topic/widgets-sidebars/). Are these locked down to wordpress.com only?
Thanks!
ok, so you go this way: automattic is a company behind wordpress and they often open-source their extra stuff, look at their profile: http://profiles.wordpress.org/automattic/
So:
twitter - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wickett-twitter-widget/
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/authors/
For others search: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/
I see several plugins in my WordPress site that are enabled for "Automatic Upgrade". It allows me to simply click a button and get the latest update installed into my site. I'd like to find out more about how to integrate this automatic upgrade routine into my own plugins.
If you know of resources or a tutorial on how to do this please share it.
Thanks in advance!
Your plugins need to be hosted in a wordpress.org SVN repository to obtain that functionality. For information on getting your plugin hosted see: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/about/
