Be careful what you wish for....By Tony Cosentino - wphow.org - @wphow - facebook.com/wphow

What the hell are plugins?
✤ accessories to add to your vehicle
✤ php/javascript injection for dummies
✤ written by people smarter than me
✤ I have ADPHPD (Attention deficit php disorder)
✤ I also like wheels other people make, why re-invent them

Plugins versus widgets“which came first, the plugin or the widget”

How to spot a good plugin
![Page 6: The Plugin Spectactular - Tony Cosentino - WordCamp Sydney 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554f388eb4c90572088b4da4/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Free plugins can be
✤ free to stop being updated
✤ free to brake for extended periods of time
✤ free from developer contact information (sometimes anyway - I’m being dramatic ok)
✤ free to go offline when the developer gets over of at all the whining from internet marketers wanting it fixed yesterday for nada
![Page 7: The Plugin Spectactular - Tony Cosentino - WordCamp Sydney 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554f388eb4c90572088b4da4/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
OK free plugins can be awesome too, if...
✤ the have a large benevolent company behind them
✤ are a loss leader for a paid version
✤ connect you to a commercial 3rd party product (eg sales force form)
✤ are supported by a Buddhist monk who is hoping to attain enlightenment through perfect code and self sacrifice(Nothing against that Buddhists either, they rock)
![Page 8: The Plugin Spectactular - Tony Cosentino - WordCamp Sydney 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554f388eb4c90572088b4da4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
If you pay for a plugin (or theme)
✤ you are supporting WordPress developer/s who will then maintain the very plugin that is making you look great
✤ inspiring more plugins to be built
✤ subsidising the support system
✤ putting people through college/uni
