Maintenance

Updates

Updates to the CBOX software are made through the WordPress Plugin Repository. Sites on which CBOX is installed will receive update notices, and the software should be updated as soon as those notices are received.

Expert Mode

By default, CBOX hides all its recommended plugins from view under the main “Plugins” and “Dashboard > Updates” pages in the WP admin dashboard. However, sometimes as a site admin, you might need to manually update a plugin.

If you need to do this, CBOX has an “expert mode” that will unhide these plugins.  This means you’ll be able to deactivate or upgrade any CBOX plugin again from the regular “Plugins” and “Dashboard > Updates” pages.

To toggle this switch, put the following in your wp-config.php file:

define( ‘CBOX_OVERRIDE_PLUGINS’, true );

If you have any questions about this switch, feel free to post a question in our Developer Support forum.

CBOX has its roots in the CUNY Academic Commons, which in turn was made possible through funding from The City University of New York itself.

The Commons In A Box was made possible through the generous support of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.

The CUNY Graduate Center has directly contributed to the CUNY Academic Commons, housing the project since its inception, and has contributed to CBOX through its GC Digital Initiatives.
