Giving back to the WordPress community and plugin authors
WordPress is a free community software , and so is the WordPress plugin directory. Plugin authors put a lot of time, hard work and creativity into writing these plugins. You can help them in many ways:

Donate: If you find a plugin useful and the author has a donation URL on the plugin page, please consider donating some money. It's not the price of the plugin, but a token of appreciation.
Rate the plugin: As we mentioned earlier, many users are not inclined to rate a well-functioning plugin. You can help break this trend. If you find a plugin you like, consider leaving a rating and a review. A few lines are enough to describe your experience with the plugin.
Mention the plugin in your blog, on Twitter or Facebook.
What to do if a plugin doesn't work?
If a plugin is generating an error or not working, the first list of iran cell phone number thing you should do is find out if it conflicts with another plugin or WordPress theme.

You need to deactivate all other plugins and activate a standard WordPress theme. Test the plugin again and if it still doesn't work, you should open a support thread.

Visit the plugin's page in the WordPress Plugin Directory and click on the "Support" tab. Scroll down until you find the support form and fill it out.

Remember that WordPress plugins are open source, which means they come without any warranty and the plugin authors are not obligated to answer your questions.

However, most plugin authors care about their code and do their best to answer support requests whenever possible. You can read our guide on how to properly ask for and get WordPress support .
