The following plugins are not recommended for use in a Shifter environment.
- Plugins that provide the same functionality as the Shifter environment, such as caching features
- Plugins that rely on .htaccess files or otherwise prevent key Shifter features from functioning
- Plugins that place a heavy load on the server, such as those for displaying related posts or rankings
- Plugins that are not compatible with PHP 7, have not been updated, or are no longer maintained
- Plugins such as Exec-PHP or WP exec PHP that execute PHP scripts in posts or pages and may pose a security risk
About Caching Plugins
Caching plugins may conflict with Shifter’s staticization process and cause unexpected issues, so please remove them from your Shifter environment.
Regarding Plugins and Features That Require PHP in a Live Environment
Features that require PHP, such as contact forms and search functions, must be replaced with JavaScript-based alternatives.
- Example of replacing a contact form: Form plugin → Replacement with a CRM form or SaaS solution
- Example of replacing a search function: WordPress’s built-in search function → Replace with Algolia
Examples of Deprecated Plugins
