 As a new WordPress user who just spent 3 months moving an OpenCart website
 to WordPress, one frustration I've often run into is installing a plugin
 that's recommended to fill a need, only to have a hard time finding clear
 instructions on how to use it. Sometimes it's even hard to find where it's
 hiding, under Tools or Users as a sub-menu item, or only as an added
 feature in Appearance>Customize.
 The format in Admin Menu>Installed Plugins for each plugin usually lists
 the developer, settings, de-activate and auto-update links, and "View
 Details" which has tabs for Description, FAQ, Reviews and other info about
 the plugin but almost never how to use it.
 6 out of my 24 plugins do have a "Documentation" link. Seems to me that
 should be a requirement for all plugins. Often there is a page somewhere
 with instructions, but it is not listed here, takes a while to find, and
 it's quicker for me to just ask Google Ai for instructions, which usually
 are quite good.
 If we want WordPress to be user-friendly for average business owners or
 anyone else to create their own website, I'd say there's a long way to go
 in providing clear instructions. I've built 2 websites before and while
 this one will be faster, more secure, and work well with Google Shopping,
 I'm astounded at how complicated it has been.
