My problem with WordPress Plugin

Here is another list:

As for not commenting on them… everybody’s taste is different.

Well, if there is comment of rating system that at least we would know if it is good.. or its pitfall.

Like today i am been looking at RunPHP. What i immediately seen is the web page has no mention of 1.5 Support. Then i have to spend time search for it…. etc…. And realize it hasn’t been updated.

Then a alternative pop up. PHPexec……

With comment. May be some one would have compare and said something like i like PHPexec better becoz……..

Is like reviews……… So other potential user read it and decide what to use. Instead of now having to use a lot of plug in and decide for yourself.

Only recently has there been a central location to store plugins, but there is still no review of it.

Most of the plugins are written by people when they feel they have a need for something and either nothing exists or what exists doesn’t fit their needs. They can advertise it as they see fit. In MOST cases, most plugins are created for the author’s blog and released as a secondary thing.

That being said, you can always try a plugin in WP 1.5 to see if it works, if it doesn’t, then you can try contacting the author.

RunPHP, which you mention in your post does work fine in WP 1.5, and you will find that many plugins that don’t explicitely mention WP 1.2 or WP 1.5 will work fine as they use generic WP functionality as opposed to anything specific to a version.
