Ask HN: How much do you spend on WordPress plugins?
- 1337biz 13y agoSo far I haven't seen the need to spend anything on WordPress plugins.
- darthdeus 13y agoI haven't spend anything as well.
- companyhen 13y agoTypically nothing, one client wanted Gravity Forms so I purchased that for his site recently. Maybe a few WooCommerce plugin extensions, but that's about it.
- OafTobark 13y ago$0.00 so far. Haven't found a need to.
- JayNeely 13y agoI do a lot of Wordpress development for clients. I've spent more on themes (between $30 - $80 per theme, usually closer to $40) than I have on plugins, and the themes often include functionality I'm looking for that I might otherwise use free plugins to create in a theme I'd build myself. So far the main plugin I've spent money on is Advanced Custom Fields, purchasing the repeater field and options page add-ons. Cost around $40 USD I believe. Gives me a license to use those add-ons on as many client sites as I want. I've also had clients purchase WooCommerce extensions like the PayPal Pro gateway ($79) and Stripe extension ($79). Also, as I continue to build out http://BostonStartupsGuide.com http://BostonStartupsGuide.com, I expect I'll purchase SearchWP ($25) and Events Calendar Pro ($65).
- krapp 13y agoNone. If I don't find one I like that I can use for free I write my own. <shameless-self-promotion> http://wordpress.org/plugins/kennethrapp http://wordpress.org/plugins/kennethrapp </shameless-self-promotion>
- joshuaiz 13y agoHave a developer's license for Gravity Forms and BackupBuddy and install those on pretty much every site. If it's some small bit of functionality I will try to write it myself or do some creative copy/pasting. Most plugins are bloated with a lot of extra unnecessary stuff.
