About PluginRiver
We are a small editorial team of WordPress consultants who write the guides we wished existed when we inherited messy client stacks.
What we publish
- Hands-on plugin and theme reviews with compatibility matrices.
- Performance and security lab notes grounded in reproducible configs.
- Developer workflows: deploy hooks, staging discipline, and safe DB promotion.
What we do not publish
- Undisclosed sponsored rankings or pay-to-win “best of” lists.
- One-click “magic” fixes that skip measurement and rollback plans.
Independence
