Bad News WordPress Plugins
This blog uses WordPress as the online development platform.
This page is where this blog strongly votes against specific WordPress Plugins. Many plugins are just plain quirky. In most cases, whether or not a plugin will work for you depends upon the version of WordPress currently in use by your blog along with your choice of theme and current crop of plugins. Bloggers positively should avoid any plugin that produces a nasty server error. And, some plugins are just plain anti-Google and should be avoided.
Plugins To Avoid at all Costs
- IMM-Glossary v2.1.1 by Internet Marketing Monitor - The IMM-Glossary plugin was supposed to create and manage an online glossary of terms. It turned out to be a poorly implemented nightmare of a Server Error generating, File Not found, Google disaster.
This plugin is so incompatible with so many other plugins that it just must be doing something fundamentally wrong to be producing so many server errors. Its entire URL approach was both horribly bad and totally stupid, IMHO. This plugin doesn’t even produce a listing that looks like a standard WikiPedia glossary listing.
- Search Everything v4.2.1 by Dan Cameron - Adds search functionality with little setup. Including options to search pages …
This plugin is a total waste of time. Does this plugin actually do anything? It will just waste your time. May have been once useful, but WordPress version 2.2 searches pages as well as posts by default.This plugin positively does NOT search comments, nor exclude categories on my theme.
