Why we refused to install that WordPress Plugin
Let me start by saying that we LOVE WordPress, we use it for virtually all of our clients. WordPress is the world’s leading CMS software, powering almost 20% of the whole world wide web, and growing. That said, there are a couple misconceptions regarding WordPress’ flexibility and plugins, especially when move up from a simple blog and you start needing more advanced functionality.
At PeakSeven we have a set of rules that have helped us create secure and maintainable websites through the years.
Rule #1: Check your sources
An absolute no no is downloading “pirated” premium plugins or themes. Sucuri did an in-depth investigation about it (worth a read mainly if you are a developer). Try to stick to the official repository at http://wordpress.org/plugins/.
