The Livefyre service was acquired by Adobe in March 2016. Since then, they’ve modified their product lineup.
The Livefyre WordPress plugin hasn’t been updated or maintained since version 1.3 was released in 2016, and support has ended for the plugin. Adobe no longer makes reference to the plugin in their documentation and is, instead, encouraging clients to use their Enterprise Livefyre service with an alternative implementation process.
Additionally, on November 30, Adobe plans to block calls made via HTTP, which the plugin uses.
We plan to proactively patch the shared plugin on the WordPress.com VIP platform, and have provided patches via pull request for sites on VIP Go, so that calls are made via HTTPS. This should allow the plugin to continue to function in the short term.
Long-term, this plugin has been deprecated and we recommend finding an alternative. The Livefyre plugin can be used in a number of ways – If you are looking for a recommendation, please open a support ticket, and let us know how you are currently using the plugin.
If you have any questions, please let us know, and we’ll be happy to help.
