Plugins
WordPress provides a host of plugins designed to extend and expand the functionality of the content management system. TCU permits the use of plugins that meet the guidelines set forth by IT Applications, IT Systems, the Office of Website Management, TCU Secure Personal Information and the University’s hosting solution, WP Engine. The use of any unapproved plugin violates TCU’s compliance protocol and will be removed.
