Ep 018 – Zero

Plugins, how many is too many? How do these things work? How do you keep track? Well, let’s talk about this. How many plugins are good for WordPress? To answer that, we need to know how plugins work, what they do, what they’re supposed to do, and how we can manage them.

Things to remember
– Plugins are php functions that add extra functions to WP
– Many themes have a lot of functions in them by default. This is the same as having multiple plugins anyway.

Things you can do to ensure you don’t end up with crap plugins
– Check how recently it was updated
– Check the dev’s website
– Check the support forum

Tune in to get into some technical stuff and what matters and what doesn’t in terms of plugins.
