[wp-forums] Interesting reading material re "Blacklisted Plugins"

[Stephen Edgar]

This was a good read from Joshua Strebel of Pagely 

http://saint-rebel.com/2014/01/17/godaddy-bans-wordpress-plugins-and-has-no-idea-why/

(It looks like the list has been amended since Joshua's post also)

Cheers,

The fact that they have Hello Dolly on that list goes a long way to explaining it I think..

It seems most of them are things that they've had create publically accessible files with sensitive data, or things that are just not compatible with their managed environment (or clash with one of their provided plugins)
