A recent case involving a client’s WordPress website has brought attention to the growing issue of plugin compatibility and excessive add-on usage, according to web developer Asaaju Peter of Phemight Technologies. The client reported that the website no longer loaded properly and instead displayed multiple fatal errors across various pages.
Upon investigation, it was discovered that the website had been built using Elementor and several Elementor-related add-ons installed in 2023. Meanwhile, the website had automatic updates enabled, which caused Elementor to update to the latest version while the outdated add-ons remained incompatible. This conflict led to the website’s functionality breaking entirely.
According to Asaaju Peter, this situation is common among WordPress users who rely heavily on multiple third-party add-ons and do not perform version compatibility checks before updating.
He emphasized that maintaining a WordPress website is not just about installation but also about ensuring stability, performance, and cautious management of plugin updates. He advised users to avoid unnecessary add-ons and disable auto-updates unless compatibility is confirmed.
Phemight Technologies continues to offer website maintenance, troubleshooting, and optimization services to help businesses maintain reliable and secure online platforms.
