# Plugin Support…or lack thereof…

 * I am almost at my 1st year anniversary of using WordPress to build my business
   website. It has been a crazy ride with a ton of learning. There are a million
   ways to express a thought when creating a website and now there are wonderful
   plugins to reduce the need to become programming experts.
 * I feel that plugins are a great benefit but they also come with pitfalls. As 
   WordPress versions change and more plugins co-exist…..the possibility of error
   increases. I have run into numerous cases of plugins that don’t quite do what
   they say they will and bugs being flushed out thanks to my website being a testing
   ground.
 * So, one could say that if I don’t like it, I should learn HTML and build everything
   from the ground up. It could also be said that nothing is perfect, and plugins
   are not guaranteed to work. It is an open community after all.
 * I truly hate when I post 5 problems to various plugin developers and there is
   never a response. I notice that if there is a question that relates to something
   they know is about to be fixed in the next release then it gets a response. Questions
   with answers in easily found places don’t get responses. Then there are real 
   problems that just go ignored forever.
 * My problems, in my own opinion, have been simple things that i’d expect to work
   but don’t. Proper tabbing, underlines following text without straying….basic 
   functions that normally work outside the plugin.
 * So I guess in the end, if it’s important enough, I might have to pay for it from
   an expert. My feeling is that I’ve paid enough and would welcome a more reliable
   approach to plugin support.
 * Am I the only one in this situation? Are there any experts out there that might
   have a suggestion or two about problem resolution as it relates to plugins and
   how to approach it?
