I had a client complain that she wasn't getting any orders the last few weeks. Turns out she had installed one of those Facebook social sharing plugins which broke the shopping cart.

    You are supposed to test your website's functionality every time you install a 3rd-party plugin on it. Too bad most people don't ask anything about such plugins as long as they are free and they - presumably - meet their needs.

    in many wordpress plugins is a false jquery link,When used individually almost all plugins work just fine. There are some WordPress themes that aren't plugin-friendly but we'll save that discussion for another day.

    What many people forget when using WordPress plugins is that while they might work fine with your theme, there's the possibility that they'll conflict with each other. Some side effects of these conflicts can be:

    1. Empty boxes appearing on your website
    2. Photos and images suddenly are not able to be uploaded into your posts
    3. Pop up plugins being used for AWeber marketing might not work
    4. Sidebar widgets may not display correctly
    5. The load time of your website slows down dramatically

      Before installing or updating any WordPress theme or plugin, I always backup my database and complete file structure, and download them to my PC. It takes only a few minutes using the free control panel utilities, and can save me from tons of grief.

    I have never faced this problem before,but recently I am suffering from it.
    I just find the alternatives and try to install it,if the problem is deep,I edit the page directly by using PHP.
