Some plugins stopped working
Q.
Some admin-side plugins stopped working when I upgraded to 4.0.4
A.
Some XHTML elements and CSS IDs have changed in the Textpattern administration interface in version 4.0.4. The new XHTML is much cleaner and easier to manipulate using Javascript.
However, some older plugins use Javascript DOM code that relies on specific XHTML structure or IDs, particularly on the content > write page. These plugins will still run, but won’t display user interface elements correctly on administration pages.
The solution is for plugin developers to update their code. The necessary information is available in the plugin forum, including examples. The new code in 4.0.4 makes it much easier to add UI elements to admin pages.
