    Hey Everyone,

    I am currently using a plugin that is not quite working correctly. In order to troubleshoot, the plugin author has requested I give him access to my admin panel.

    This seems like a major security risk to me and I have no intention of doing this. I just wanted to get some other opinions on this. Are there safer options for troubleshooting?

    The blog I need help with is allmyleagues.com

    Plugin authors should not need admin access to help you diagnose a problem. This particular author may have only the best intentions, and perhaps it’s in fact a complex issue easier solved with such access, but giving access to someone you don’t know and trust is never recommended.

    Are there other plugins in the repository that can accomplish the same or similar things that you need it for? Are you sure that this plugin is causing your site’s troubles?
