With thousands of plugins available, getting visibility is tough. Developers need strong marketing, SEO-optimized listings, and compelling value propositions to attract users.

Yes, security is a top priority for WordPress site owners. Here are key steps that I think developers should take to ensure their plugins are secure: Follow WordPress coding standards, perform security audits and code reviews, also make sure to implement secure authentication methods.
With thousands of plugins available, it can be overwhelming for users to choose the right one. What advice would you give WordPress users to identify high-quality and reliable plugins?
Here’s my advice to help users identify high-quality and reliable plugins. First of all, make sure to check ratings and reviews, then examine the Support and Documentation. Review the plugin’s features to make sure it meets all your needs. And of course, choose plugins from trusted sources.
