If you frequently use ChatGPT, it may often throw the errorPlugins are no longer supportedwhen using an available GPT or one created manually!
For anyone wondering why the ChatGPT plugin is not working, OpenAI, in March’24, confirmed that plugins will be deprecated and replaced with GPTs. All major developers have released their GPT replacement for plugins. Also, users can create custom GPTs.
However, even when using GPTs while interacting with the AI-based chatbot, thePlugins are no longer supportederror appears. If that happens, check the ChatGPT server status on theofficial websiteor use a real-time monitoring service likeDowndetector. If there’s no ongoing maintenance or outage, pressCtrl+Shift+Rto perform a hard refresh, and try the solutions listed next!
How do I fix the Plugins are no longer supported error in ChatGPT?
1. Switch browser or device
In most cases, switching to another browser does the trick. For instance, a user faced thePlugins are no longer supportedChatGPT error in Chrome on Mac, but moving to Safari fixed things. Similarly, for another user, switching from Brave to Microsoft Edge worked on Windows.
So, I suggest you look at our list oftop-rated browsersand pick one!
Besides, there have been cases where ChatGPT threw the plugin error on a PC browser, but switching to the mobile app resolved the problem, or even moving from macOS to Windows. If any of this applies to you, try it!
2. Clear the browsing data
3. Toggle on GPT-3.5 and GPT-4
For paid ChatGPT users, enablingGPT-3.5andGPT-4also worked, as confirmed in dedicated forums.
To do that, head to ChatGPT’s home page (general interface) > locate and enable the toggle forGPT-3.5andGPT-4> go back to the GPT that throws the plugin not supported error and check for improvements.
4. Delete all past conversations
If nothing else works, you can try deleting all past conversations, especially the one made with a plugin. In a few cases, this conflicted with the active GPT and triggered thePlugins are no longer supportederror in ChatGPT.
To do that, click on the ellipsis next to any conversation > chooseDeletefrom the menu > click onDeleteto confirm.
5. Contact OpenAI support
The last option, as expected, is tocontact OpenAI supportand raise a ticket via the chatbot at the bottom-right corner. At this point, the support team will be able to better identify the underlying cause and provide a solution.
And until the problem is resolved, you can switch to areliable ChatGPT alternative!
