Deleted WordPress Plugins

Today I reviewed my developed plugins and made the decision to remove some. I’ve detailed which ones they were below. As to why I deleted them, as a general rule of thumb they had low popularity, were in desperate need of updating but I simply couldn’t justify doing so. In the meantime I have to support them. In many cases there are other plugins available that will do the job just as well, if not better.

• Android App Share
• Artiss PSN Status
• Flu Pandemic Level
• Simple PayPal Donate
• Simple Readbag List
• Simple TTIW List
• Simple Wakoopa List

Simple PayPal Donate was the hardest decision of these as it has a reasonably established base of users. However, the plugin added little to just going to the PayPal site and grabbing the code – something you have to do anyway even when you use this plugin.

Further Deletions

WP Plugin Cache will be removed once I’ve updated Simple URL Shortener – this is the only plugging currently using it.

Artiss Facebook Link, Simple Buzz Link and Artiss Twitter Link will also soon go as I replace them with a single plugin.

Remaining Plugins

This means that the following plugins remain…

• Artiss AdSense Insert
• Artiss Code Embed
• Artiss Content Reveal
• Artiss Draft List
• Artiss Relative Date
• Artiss Twitter Data
• Artiss YouTube Embed
• Google Docs Viewer
• Simple Feed List
• Simple Social Bookmarks
• Simple Timed Content
• Simple URL Shortener
• WP README Parser

Those beginning with Artiss have had a relatively recent update – the others are in need of an overhaul.
