Go to the new photoshop CC 2015.5. Open folder, go to plugins, open new finder window do the same except open photoshop CC 2015 (old one), go to plugins, select all the plugins and drag into the new 2015.5 plugins folder. They will now be in the filters. You will probably need to quit and reopen ps cc 2015.5. good luck.
I did that and it only took a few moments. To me it was not a big deal. Maybe it wasn't a big deal to me because of my mind set. To wit: Adobe developed Photoshop and supports their product. Plug ins which are developed by others and installed by us are not their responsibility. When we install our toys into their product the responsibility for the maintenance of those toys is ours, not Adobes. Hey, I don't expect Ford to maintain my Garmin either.

Don't know, maybe it's because you use a Mac. I'm no expert on computers and software but I can recognize inconsistency when I see it. This is not the first upgrade I've had since I installed PS CC but it IS the first that has shut down all my plugins.
I have Adobe CC on a MAC & I choose when/if to upgrade. I usually upgrade after the wrinkles are ironed out, like when they changed the whole import process to make it easier for beginners but dedicated and/or long-time users like myself hated it and Adobe restored the Import process. What other company would try to please their customers that much? I know there is a learning curve and a different mind-set to understand how LR works, for instance, but it is totally worth it. I took every other photo software off my computer once I learned LR and the more I learn about PS, the better the subscription price is...totally worth $10/month.
I also can use ADOBE CC on both my PC & Windows laptop...no problems with the upgrades there either.
I don't have many plugins but I've never had a problem with them plus if they disappear, it's quite simple to restore them. I've worked with computers a long time and once I learned to think like a computer, I had less problems. Likewise thinking like a particular program is crucial to using it.
Just my humble opinion. Others may disagree. So, those who are on the fence about Adobe CC, I say, "Do it!"

It is not pleasing their long term customers when a vendor must go back and fix stupid mistakes in judgement on software upgrades.
Keeping their long term customers happy is by looking at the possible consequences of the upgrade on long time customers and offering a choice to use the new feature, or the old feature. Taking options away from older customers, in the name of upgrading software, is a sure way to guide those customers to explore other products.

That's one way to look at it. However, I don't ever recall having a choice when any OTHER vendor updated their software. You either learn the new version or drop it. Other vendors didn't go back & change it. I guess it depends on how much you use and/or like the software in question.

You use content aware crop in Photoshop CC, or the new Transform tool in Lightroom, and you'll forgive any plug-in transgressions.

Like many of the other responders, I have a couple of previous versions of Photoshop on disc. But I am unable to install them (I can, or could, for 30 day trials, but I do not feature re-installing these 30 day trials monthly) on my latest computer. I also have multiple versions of Corel Paintshop Pro, which I can re-install to my hearts content - though I have no need to. And the cost is so low that buying the next version is a no-brainer! Because I do (did) a lot of sports photography where the turn around of lots of jpeg images is what pays the bills, I use ACDSee to upload, select, and write a days work to disc. Paintshop is useful to correct problems (save my screw ups)! The $120.00 (US - soon to be $174.00, I hear), is not outrageous, but a lot more than I'm spending for two programs that work for me.
Photoshop became the default photographers program decades ago when it became the defacto program in the publishing industry. Photoshop has many features required for the publishing industry, I am told, that are useless for photography, but must be included in the price we all have to pay to use this program. If I wasn't so damn lazy, I'd be proficient in Gimp, and never again pay for any photo editing programs!
