Do you trust all your WordPress plugins?

by angela.booth on March 7, 2008


I love WordPress… I’ve got lots of WordPress blogs, and install plugins without a second thought.

So far everything’s been great, but this post from John Andrews may be a wake up call.

» Trusting WordPress Plugins and “SEO for WordPress” – John Andrews – johnon.com:

“We can’t check all of WordPress. We rely on that large community of eyeballs looking at it for months prior to release, and the even larger community of eyeballs looking at it during the months after release, to help make sure it is worthy. That’s how Open Source works. But that is NOT the case for plugins. A plugin author may never share his code until publication time. Many plug-ins see very few installs compared to large open source projects. Even 1,000 users will not lead to good code if that is 1,000 non-programmer users (common with WordPress plugins). We look at plugin code very carefully.”
