Same here, more than anything I would like to know if it has been removed because it is no longer maintained or for security problems.
Thank you!
It’s probably wiser to look for an alternative when the plugin is no longer maintained. I tried Post Types Order and that seems to work like ICPO.

Thanks for the suggestion @tastymouse – likely what we’ll do at this point!
@agm65 thanks for the link! Sad as this is on basically all of our client maintained sites, but glad we finally have an answer!
Created a pull request today and hope the plugin author will implement it soon.

@timohubois sweet! We forked it and fixed it as well. We are actively trying to reach out to the plugin dev so hopefully we can get this sorted sooner than later!
Got the info from the plugin author that a request at WordPress.org to re-examine the plugin update was send.
Hope they will accept the changes and the plugin comes back soon.
Update v 3.1.4 fixes this minor issue and is pending review (there is a plugin review backlog, volunteers welcome).

WordFence really needs to stop “crying wolf” as if every single security issue it “critical”. Yes, potentially a logged in subscriber could rearrange your menus, not change them, just rearrange them. Critical? Probably not.. Yes, an admin could inject MySQL… but they’re an admin, they have to install plugins and edit files that could do that already.
Yes, best practices are to protect against these things, but WF users ought to be demanding WF be less alarmist in their messaging.
I got the same warning from my host FLywheel and immediately replaced the plugin with another. Little did I know a previous developer had integrated it into some custom functionality that is now broken! So I am glad to hear that a fix is in the works.
In regards to the pull request mentioned earlier in the thread, is that something I can implement myself? I am not a developer, but can follow instructions well if someone can explain. If not, I will just try to be patient and ask my clients to do the same! Thanks.

@jb510, good point, sounds legit.
@engeniusweb you can download the latest version directly from GitHub and replace the files in the plugin folder at your WordPress instance. Please do not download the latest release at GitHub, releases are currently not updated there.

OH MY GOSH YOU ROCK! This fixed a couple major issues on two of our bigger clients’ sites. Thank you so much!
Today I figured out, that I made a mistake which causes that drag & drop may is not working after using the current version on GitHub. Added a new pull request which solves the issue.
Any news about the re-examination by WordPress?
