There are some plugins, even those with advanced functionality that usually only require 1 or 2 hours and you are good to go.
While other plugins, you will need weeks to set them up, due to their uses cases and functionality.
I am just curious to know what are some of the plugins that you have encountered, that have taken a substantial amount of time to configure and set up ?
List some names please.
WooCommerce and any social and membership plugins.
Had this with SportsPress when setting it up for a league, and LearnPress for some learning centers
W3 cache, had no checkout and cart page nearly two weeks because the stupid minify thing killing page
Cache plugins. Minification, deferment and CCSS… Urghhh!
I no longer use minification. Not even sure it’s necessary when gzip compression is enabled.
Caching plugins. Hit or miss 24/7.
