hello there
I agree – the quality of journalism here on WPTavern has always been exceptionally good.
I would like everyone involved to know that your good is greatly appreciated.
Someone purchasing a plugin to put malware is not going to happen.
It will be a one of the great WordCamp this year. Exited to speak at WordCamp Mumbai for First time. :D
Someone purchasing a plugin to put malware is not going to happen. At best you can expect more updates with more ads.
There have been few instances where the new owner changed the core functinality of the plugin but that is very unlikely.As long as you don’t have the plugin set to automatically update and the plugin doesn’t make any requests to the abandoned domain, then you should be okay to continue using the plugin for the time being. The worst-case scenario in that situation is that a vulnerability would be found in the plugin and there wouldn’t be an update. But considering how poorly developers respond to security issues in actively supported plugins, that isn’t a big risk. Depending on how long you are considering using the plugin and the security profile of your website, you could get a security review of the plugin done to hold you over.
If you are concerned the plugin might get taken over through the abandoned domain, you can contact the team running the plugin directory at plugins@wordpress.org about that.
An onboarding script would only address the onboarding aspect of this. It doesn’t address the larger issue of custom settings screens. For that, you’d need a much more general-purpose solution.
There is a discussion on Make Themes that gives full context of what the Themes Team is mulling over: https://make.wordpress.org/themes/2023/10/17/discussion-how-to-handle-custom-settings-screens-in-block-themes/
Some sort of script/library/framework could be a part of that discussion.
Hey Ashley, awesome Home page! I love the motto too!
Hello Lisa, I am Carlos from Mexico. I’m relatively new to WordPress too. I created a few websites with WordPress in the last two years but now I am looking to learn ReactJS and maybe Vue. I started with PHP some months ago and now I’m looking to become a WordPress programmer in the future :)
