The false economy of Free WordPress plugins… — originally published by Dan Harrison (of WPDoctors.co.uk)
The one thing that people love about WordPress and the WordPress.org plugins is that they are free. Sure, they don’t cost any money. But they’re not truly free.
You can ask on the WordPress support forums for some help. Or you could email the developer for some help. You might get some help. But what if you don’t get any help? You’ll probably need to pay for some help from a techie or a developer.
But what does it feel like to be the developer of a free WordPress plugin? Read on to find out more…
