<Tab title="PHP Runtime Generation 2" id="tab-1-anchor" active={true}>

By default, sites using [PHP Runtime Generation 2](/php-runtime-generation-2) have access to Tika 1.18 and 1.21. These versions are available at the following paths:
New sites created on the Pantheon platform default to Tika 3.x. The Tika 3 jar is available at:

- `/opt/pantheon/tika/tika.jar`

Existing sites may still be using Tika 1.18 or 1.21, which are available at:

- `/srv/bin/tika-app-1.18.jar`
- `/srv/bin/tika-app-1.21.jar`

Sites that are using these older versions of Tika should be upgraded to a newer version of Tika as soon as possible.
<Alert title="Tika 1.x End of Life" type="warning">

Tika 1.x will be removed on January 19, 2026. Sites using Tika 1.x should migrate to Tika 3 before this date. See the [Tika 1.x EOL release note](/release-notes/2025/10/tika1x-eol) for details.

Tika 3 is available and recommended. To enable Tika 3, add the following to your `pantheon.yml`:
</Alert>

To explicitly set your Tika version, add the following to your `pantheon.yml`:

```yaml:title=pantheon.yml
tika_version: 3
```

Once you have committed the line above, the latest version of Tika 3 will be available at the following path:

- `/opt/pantheon/tika/tika.jar`
Valid values are `1`, `3`, or `none` (to disable Tika).

title: "Tika 3.x is now the default for new sites"
published_date: "2026-01-21"
categories: [infrastructure]

New sites created on the Pantheon platform now default to Tika 3.x. Previously, new sites defaulted to Tika 1.x.

This change only affects newly created sites. Existing sites will continue to use their current Tika version and are not impacted by this update.

## Overriding the default

If you need to use Tika 1.x for a new site, you can explicitly set the version in your `pantheon.yml` file:

```yaml:title=pantheon.yml
tika_version: 1
```

However, [Tika 1.x will be removed on January 19, 2026](/release-notes/2025/10/tika1x-eol). We recommend testing your site with Tika 3.x and migrating before this date.

title: "WP SAML Auth 2.3 update now available"
published_date: "2026-01-21"
categories: [action-required, wordpress, security]
---

Pantheon has released a new version of our [WP SAML Auth WordPress plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-saml-auth/). This update focuses on modernizing PHP support and providing developers with more granular control over SAML configurations.

## What's New
- PHP 8.4 Compatibility: Full support for PHP 8.4 has been added.
- Updated PHP Requirements: The minimum supported PHP version has been increased to 7.4 to ensure better security and performance.
- WordPress 6.9 Compatibility: Confirmed compatibility with WordPress 6.9.
- Enhanced Configuration: Added the `wp_saml_auth_internal_config` filter, allowing developers to customize the OneLogin SAML configuration.
- SimpleSAMLphp 2.x Support: Improved auto-detection for SimpleSAMLphp 2.x and optimized autoloader discovery to skip redundant processes when the `SimpleSAML\Auth\Simple` class is already loaded.

## Bug Fixes
Settings Page Warnings: Fixed a warning message on the plugin's settings page that appeared for users not utilizing SimpleSAML.

## Important: Compatibility & Testing
While this update improves autoloader discovery, it changes how the plugin interacts with the local environment. We strongly recommend testing in a lower environment before upgrading especially if you use:

- Non-Standard Installations: Custom SimpleSAMLphp installations located in non-standard directories.
- Manual Autoloaders: Custom autoloader code that manually handles the loading of SimpleSAMLphp.

## Action required
We encourage you to upgrade to the latest version of WP SAML Auth as soon as possible to take advantage of the latest features and compatibility updates.
updating to get the latest features and compatibility updates.

If you have questions or concerns, [please open issues in the queue for the plugin](https://github.com/pantheon-systems/wp-saml-auth).

---
We are pleased to announce that all of our [actively maintained WordPress plugins](/guides/wordpress-configurations/plugins) are now confirmed fully compatible with WordPress 6.9.

## Actively Maintained Plugins
The following plugins have been tested and verified for compatibility:

- [WP SAML Auth](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-saml-auth/)
- [Pantheon Advanced Page Cache](https://wordpress.org/plugins/pantheon-advanced-page-cache)
- [Pantheon HUD](https://wordpress.org/plugins/pantheon-hud/)

- [Pantheon Content Publisher](https://wordpress.org/plugins/pantheon-content-publisher)

## Action Required
We recommend updating your Pantheon plugins to their latest versions alongside your WordPress 6.9 core upgrade. This ensures you receive the latest performance optimizations, security patches, and full compatibility with PHP 8.4.

As a best practice, always test these updates in a Dev or Multidev environment before deploying to Live.
