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$MT_HOME/php/plugins/modifier.textile_2.php$MT_HOME/php/plugins/smartypants.php$MT_HOME/php/plugins/Textile.php
