oh boy, the average wordpress site has like 30 plugins and the top bar is getting cluttered with so many plugin upsells that it fills the whole screen. There’s a huge industry of people making wordpress sites who shouldn’t.
It’s quite frustrating to be asked as a dev to “fix” people’s site as my usual response is “shut it off and redo it well”.
It’s really a shame because by now WordPress itself actually works quite well. Sure, it’s fueled by unspeakably ugly spaghetti code. But at least it’s unspeakably ugly spaghetti code that works and receives regular automatic updates.
And other than putting up a verification program I don’t see what they could do to improve the plugin situation.
