TL\/DR<\/abbr>: Plugin\/Theme developer<\/a>, WordPress Slack<\/a>, IRC channels<\/a>, our Community Support Center<\/a>, and Web Design Services<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We get it. Customers don\u2019t want to be told to \u201ccontact a developer\u201d when there\u2019s a coding issue. You may not want to hire a web designer<\/a> because you trust yourself more than someone with positive ratings on Fiverr or Freelancer.com. Maybe you don\u2019t want our custom web design package<\/a> because you want to build your website yourself. Understandable. And don\u2019t forget the biggest selling point for the WordPress content management system (CMS) \u2013 ease of use<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But sometimes, an important plugin or theme can conflict with another function, hog resources preventing WP-CLI from working, or show sensitive debugging information on public pages. It may have nothing to do with your web hosting plan<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It could be because the developer didn\u2019t follow best WordPress development practices. Regardless, we\u2019re not always able to help you search raw PHP files to resolve an issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It sucks, and we don\u2019t want to see these issues keep you from working on your mission in your respective communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes the best thing we can do for your website is to disable the offending plugin or theme, offer an alternative one, and advise you to contact a WordPress developer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, we don\u2019t like having to tell you this. We can\u2019t guarantee quality customer service or a resolution to your issue from every WordPress core, plugin, or theme developer. But sometimes, it\u2019s best to go straight to the source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are some ways to \u201ccontact a WordPress developer.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speed up your WordPress website today with our NGINX-powered WordPress Hosting<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plugin or Theme developer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

WordPress.org plugin and theme pages include the developer(s) homepage on the \u201cBy\u201d line under or beside the title. Developers may have a preferred contact method such as WordPress Support forums<\/a>, a separate forum, email, or Github<\/a>. Some may use multiple contact methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cBy\u201d line may only show the developer website, but all are good places to check. You\u2019re likely not the only one having an issue with a popular WordPress plugin or theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"WordPress<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

WordPress Slack Workspace<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The WordPress core community uses Slack<\/a> primarily for communication about contributing to the project. But this is a great option if you want updates on future additions to WordPress core such as accessibility<\/a> or want to help improve the CMS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want support on WordPress core functions, though\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WordPress IRC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are many WordPress internet relay chat (IRC) channels<\/a> alongside the official #wordpress channel<\/a> for real-time assistance. There are WordPress IRC channels for different countries, specific plugins (e.g. #woocommerce<\/a>), WP-CLI<\/a>, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use the \/list wordpress<\/code> IRC command to search WordPress IRC channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Community Support Center<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many users participate in our Community Support Center<\/a> to discuss alternatives to different issues. Like many things, there are multiple ways, plugins, and themes to achieve something. Learn from and network with other like-minded individuals looking to accomplish similar goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get started with our guide on how to get the most out of our Community Support Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Web Design Services<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Contact our Web Design Services team<\/a> for consultation services. WordPress may not be the best CMS for the task. Instead of using a WordPress analytics plugin, you may benefit from dedicated web analytics software<\/a> like Matomo or Google Analytics instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, this article doesn\u2019t mean we won\u2019t do their best to assist you. It\u2019s simply another way for us to assist you when our 24\/7 Live Support<\/a> and Managed Hosting<\/a> cannot \u2013 specifically for coding conflicts. As always, let us know if you have questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
