Thanks, Maggie.

Additionally, we should update the CommentPress Core plugin. We are at version 3.9.3, but the most recent version is 3.4: http://futureofthebook.org/commentpress/download/

The latest version available in the WP repo is 3.9.3, which is what we are running, and which is higher than 3.4. I'm guessing that the futureofthebook.org page is not kept up to date.

We can certainly hide the legacy CP plugins. Removing them altogether will probably mean forcing legacy sites to update, which I'd imagine is a somewhat manual process (at least, it'd have to be triggered manually on each individual site). Here are the sites running CommentPress:

Christian, would you mind sharing your recommendation here? The easiest path forward for me is to simply hide the old CommentPress and related plugins so that they can no longer be activated, but to leave them in place on existing sites. But you'll know better than I will just how hard and/or valuable it'll be to actually migrate them.

The CommentPress theme was already network disabled.

In https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/8278248bcded8b02baf07ecc2005db0ed1f72f11 I've disabled the commentpress and cp-ajax-comments plugins from being activated.

For the time being, I'm leaving the plugins in place, and not doing any migration of existing sites. It's worth doing at some point, but it'll take some manual work that I haven't got the bandwidth for at the moment. Perhaps Christian could take charge of that process at some point? Once existing sites are migrated to commentpress-core, we can remove the old plugins and theme.
