Discouraged Plugins

The following plugins are discouraged.

  • wponlinebackup
  • wp-db-backup
  • Revolution Slider
  • Gravity Forms
  • FCKEditor
  • Any MySQL Graphical Interface

wponlinebackup

This plugin is no longer supported and is a common source of security exploits.

wp-db-backup

This plugin is a common source of security exploits.

Revolution Slider

We recommend using Soliloquy instead.

If you are still interested in using Revolution Slider, we recommend you download the plugin only from its official site.

Gravity Forms

For best results, download the plugin only from its official site.

FCKEditor

This plugin is no longer supported. We recommend using CKEditor instead.

Any MySQL Graphical Interface

Embedding a MySQL Graphical interface into WordPress potentially subjects your install to any security issues within the database interface itself.

We offer a secure and decoupled install of PHPMyAdmin through our Account Control Center. We recommend using our secure option instead.
