Removal of some plugins on UBC CMS

October 4, 2023

Due to a required security update to PHP, several now-abandoned plugins will be removed from CMS. There are alternative options.

Removal of some plugins on UBC CMS

With the upcoming upgrade to PHP version 8.2, we will be removing the below plugins from UBC CMS. This is due to those plugins not being compatible with PHP 8.2 and are now considered abandoned as the plugin’s authors have not made the requisite updates. Alongside each we have outlined the alternative, where appropriate. These will be removed on October 25th 2023.

Gravity Forms WYSIWYG

This plugin added a WYSIWYG field to Gravity Forms. This is now possible using Gravity Forms natively, without using a plugin. You are able to add a paragraph field and then check the “Use The Rich Text Editor” checkbox.

PJW Mime Config

This plugin, from more than a decade ago, allowed you to upload certain additional file types. If, after we remove this plugin, you still need to upload those file types, please contact us and we can make the adjustments on your behalf.

Gravity Forms Entry Importer

This plugin allowed you to import Gravity Forms entries from one form into another using CSV. There is no replacement for this. If you need this functionality, please get in touch.

Studiorum and all Studiorum Add-Ons

This suite of plugins is no-longer used and is only active on a handful of sites on CMS. This functionality is no-longer available.
