All Plugins​

Disallowed Plugins​

  • WP Super Cache
  • WP File Cache
  • W3 Total Cache
  • WP DB Backup — Needlessly bloats your site’s local storage.
  • WP DB Manager — .htaccess protection is recommended, but local storage usage is the major concern as it only offers a local storage option.
  • BackupWordPress — Duplicates a large number of files on local storage that are already in our backups.
  • VersionPress — In order to function this plugin needs access to server level functions that we disallow for security reasons.
  • Broken Link Checker — Overwhelms the server with a very large amount of HTTP requests
  • MyReviewPlugin — Slams the database with a significant amount of writes.
  • LinkMan — Much like the MyReviewPlugin above, LinkMan utilizes an unscalable amount of database writes.
  • Fuzzy SEO Booster — Causes MySQL issues as a site scales up.
  • WP PostViews — Inefficiently writes to the database on every page load.
  • Tweet Blender — Does not interact well with caching and can cause increased server load.
  • Dynamic Related Posts
  • SEO Auto Links & Related Posts
  • Similar Posts
  • Contextual Related Posts
  • No Revisions — We disable revisions for all customers by default. See our Platform Settings article for more information.
  • Force Strong Passwords — We already install & activate this plugin for you.
  • Bad Behavior — This plugin attempts to block a number of hosts that we already disallow.
  • Hello Dolly!
  • WP phpMyAdmin — Disallowed due to a fairly major security issue.
  • Sweet Captcha — Sucuri revealed that the Sweet Captcha service was used to distribute adware, we have decided to follow the WordPress Plugin Repo’s lead and ban the plugin outright.
  • Digital Access Pass (DAP) — While we do not actively remove this from sites, please be aware that it will not work properly on our platform due to its use of PHP Sessions and System-level crons. Instead, we recommend using one of the other highly-rated Membership plugins like Paid Memberships Pro, Restrict Content, or S2Member.
  • TimThumb — Older versions of TimThumb are known to contain vulnerabilities. When our system scan identifies an older version, it will automatically update the script. After the upgrade has been completed, the system will notify you by email.
  • Uploadify — Access to this script is blocked due to known security threats. The reasoning behind this was largely informed by this blog post from Sucuri.
