Plugins That Should Be Removed ¶

An important goal of Movable Type 4.0 was to incorporate and fold into the core of the platform a number of plugins that provided features that were considered essential for the platform. Having these features provided by the core and a plugin at the same time has been known to cause problems for some users.

Users are asked to disable, or preferably remove the following plugins from their installation before installing:

• nofollow
• BigPAPI
• Any plugins that rely on BigPAPI
• RebuildQueue
• Extensible Archives (provided by MT4 betas)
• Date-based Category Archives (provided by MT4 betas)
• Author Archives (provided by MT4 betas)

Users should also remove the following files as well:

• $MT_HOME/php/plugins/Textile.php
• $MT_HOME/php/plugins/MTMultiblog.php
• $MT_HOME/php/plugins/MTWidgetManager.php
• $MT_HOME/php/plugins/init.nofollow.php
• $MT_HOME/php/plugins/init.openid-comment.php
• $MT_HOME/php/plugins/markdown.php
• $MT_HOME/php/plugins/modifier.markdown.php
• $MT_HOME/php/plugins/modifier.markdown_with_smartypants.php
• $MT_HOME/php/plugins/modifier.smartypants.php
• $MT_HOME/php/plugins/modifier.textile_1.php
• $MT_HOME/php/plugins/modifier.textile_2.php
