  Chrome by v45 will require shockwave flash only. Here is their message on my browser, which just appeared tonight:

  NPAPI plugins don’t work on Chrome version 42 and higher

  Plugins allow extra features to be added to browsers. For example, you can watch certain types of videos or play a game that’s on a webpage.

  NPAPI support has ended
  In the past, many plugins were developed using an older system called NPAPI. Today fewer sites are using NPAPI plugins and they can sometimes cause security risks on websites.

  To make browsing with Chrome safer, faster, and more stable, we’re ending support for NPAPI plugins with Chrome version 42.

  Please advise as to WP status re this issue.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I’m assuming that you are looking for a Staff reply to your question, so I’ve added the “modlook” tag to the tags in the sidebar.

  Just so you know, you don’t need to wait for forum volunteers to tag your thread; any community member can include a modlook tag if they need a Staff response.

  Hi kerin2014–

  This change is referring to browser plugins, not WordPress plugins, and they have been disabled by default for awhile, so if you were going to have trouble, you’d have seen it already.

  Are you experiencing any problems on your site that you fear are related to this change?

  No — all is cool. Thanks for getting back to me. The messages went away by themselves!
