Plugin Spring Cleaning Update
Plugin Update
Academic Technologies recently performed an audit on all of the installed plugins in our WordPress environment to evaluate them using our plugin evaluation criteria. Reasons a plugin was removed might have been any of the following:
- Many of the installed plugins no longer worked
- Were not being used
- Weren’t being maintained anymore
- Wouldn’t work with the current version of WordPress
- Had security issues
- Had the functionality built into the core now and were no longer relevant
- Duplicated functionality.
Every effort was made to fix any content that was using these plugins.
There are more plugins that duplicate functionality, and they will be replaced in time as we migrate the content to the selected plugin for a given functionality.
