About The WordPress Plugins
May 4th, 2006 by George Notaras
I write this post as a reply to all those who have emailed me the last 2-3 months about the WordPress plugins that are available on this web site. Many of your suggestions were great, but there seem to be some problems, which I outline below:
- I am not a programmer. Sure, I like programming simple stuff and have some experience, but this does not make me a programmer. So, enhancing these plugins with more features, although it would be good, it takes me a significant amount of time and effort.
- I mainly wrote these plugins in order to get rid of all the custom “hacks” I had implemented into wordpress.
- Another reason for writing them was fun, but it seems that I am not really interested in their further development.
- I do not have enough free time or I want to spend my free time with something else.
- Although they work with WordPress 2+, there is no guarantee that they will continue to work with future versions of WordPress. When or if this happens, I strongly encourage you to look for similar plugins at the various websites with WordPress resources. I will do the same. Also note that all the plugins are released under the GPL, so you can fix them yourself, re-release them etc.
All downloadable stuff on this web site is completely unsupported.
The plugins will continue to be available for download though, but I strongly suggest that you look for better ones.
I will place a link on each plugin page that will refer to this message when I have the time.
