    What we all need is a better alternative to ManageWP. There are several options out there but none are good. None of them has all the things we need. Not MainWP, not InfiniteWP, not any of them. So much room for improvement in this area. (Kinda random comment, sorry :P)

    Hello, I'm new to wordpress. I just want to know though, if I buy a plugin to use to my first WordPress website can I still use it to a new or completely different WordPress website? I can't see answers on google.

    Is there a tool for conditional multistep? Conditional logic is better described as conditional fields. I need conditional steps i.e. the next step, section etc is determined by a selection such as a radio field, checkbox, action, text box completed or page e.g. landing page.

    It's difficult enough learning how to use wordpress, but learning how to use another 9 plugins as well makes this sound impossible. A friend of mine has his own website, last year when wordpress updated, his site went down. It took him ages to work out which plug-in was causing the problem. It turned out that 3 of his plug-ins were not compliant with the new wordpress and even a month later one plugin had still not become compliant as the developers were so slow. Is it possible to build a stable wordpress site without so many plugins?

    Great content! Thank you! I was recently exploring alternatives to Elementor and came out with Oxygen. Have you tried it? What is your ooint of view? Thank you again

    I notice this list (although quite good as a list) is mostly pointing at your affiliate links. You do not mention this in your video. Would you come up with the same list if they were not affiliate links. I think these days we need to be totally transparent about 'recommendations' – to ensure that they are not vested in earning commission.

    Of course there is nothing wrong with earning commission, after all it does not affect the end-users cost and helps you keep your channel going. When I see a channel with over 15k views I realise of course it is making money from views and subscribers in any case, the commission links are the 'icing on the cake'. Having said that I think you should be completely open about your 'interest' in these plugins; whether or not they are the top ones in your estimation. There are of course a LOT of plugins out there.

    I would like to see a open and 'honest' review of free plugins that have no commission attached to them, by budding authors who are just giving their plugins away, but at the same time helping the community…. perhaps another video sometime…?

    Thanks Paul! I'm surprised that Crocoblock's tools didn't make your list. I like them better than ACF. I've been amazed by their functionality AND their customer support.
