Your Managed WordPress has blocklisted the following plugins, meaning you cannot install them, and if we detect them installed on your account, they will be removed.
Your Managed WordPress has blocklisted the following plugins, meaning you cannot install them, and if we detect them installed on your account, they will be removed.
Required: This article applies to all Managed WordPress Basic, Deluxe, Ultimate, Developer, Pro and Ecommerce accounts. This is not an exhaustive list. Any plugin that fits into these categories or is otherwise known to cause problems may be added to the list or disabled at any time.
It's important to understand that there are diligent plugin developers who correct issues quickly and publish an immediate update. As such, plugins listed with version info serve to identify the versions that are blocklisted.
Often a newer or updated version doesn't have the same vulnerability that the plugin was blocklisted for and can still be installed. Plugins that don't have version info are just blocklisted as no updated or improved versions are available.
Note: Updated versions can typically be installed unless specifically noted in the More info column.
The most recently added plugins are listed here at the top as well as in their respective categories to highlight any recent threats to the hosting environment and your website.
