Plugin reviews

Most plugin reviews are the feature list reworded, published by someone who never installed the thing and earns a commission if you buy it. That is not useless, but it is advertising with a byline, and it is why a search for any WordPress plugin returns ten pages that agree with each other and with the vendor.

These are written differently. I install the plugin, use it, and read the code, because I build commercial WordPress plugins myself and the parts that decide whether a product is worth your money are rarely on the features page. Where a claim can be checked, it gets checked. Where the documentation contradicts itself, that gets said.

Every relationship is disclosed, including the awkward ones, and any link to a product I have a connection with is qualified so it passes nothing. The point is that you can tell which parts I had a reason to write and which parts I did not.
