As per the title, what’s the one thing that really “grinds your gears” when it comes to plugins and themes? What should developers stop doing?

  1. Write that something is developer friendly, and then never provide any kind of useful (or any really) documentation on how to expand or modify a theme / plugin without having to re-do it yourself.

    Some plugins, like ACF, is great at documentation for developers.

  2. Monthly subscriptions. I know that development is an ongoing thing, but man oh man I wish more things were once-off purchases

  3. Plugins that “call home”. I’m tired of installing a plugin and then finding out that to use the plugin, I am taken to another website.

  4. Inform about urgent security fixes via newsletter only (that is used for marketing/tutorial/updates all together)

    Or better yet, silently release an urgent security patch without notice that I‘m left to find out myself. Patch, not update.

    Or, when helping to solve an issue, break the staging site to pieces and then offer no help to fix it, instead leave it as is with no comment.
