Just a technical update to indicate that we are running the latest version of WordPress.

We have disabled Jetpack on blogs.brown.edu

This solution was implemented to address some authentication errors that were preventing students from accessing their blog.

CORRECTION: We have “Network Disabled” the plugin but it is still available to be activated by site owners on a site-by-site basis.

New Themes:

Custom Facebook Feed
Embed Webmap
Thinglink
WP Google Maps
Zotpress

New Plugins:

GeneratePress
Forefront
Intergalactic
Radcliffe

In response to a faculty request for more theming options, we have installed Edin, Motif and Sela. Enjoy!

We have just activated the WordPress Twenty Fifteen theme and the Editor theme. Both themes are now available to all blogs in our network. Visit the Dashboard’s Appearance page to preview or choose a theme.

Cheers!
