As I stated in this article, hook firing sequence recently caused me much consternation. Of course, initially I had no idea what was causing the issue. When hooks don’t fire in the proper sequence (or simply fail to fire at all) there is nothing in any log file that gives you a clue as to what went wrong. It took me awhile to figure out that it was a hook. When I did, that forced me to really understand what went on under the hood of the WP Plugin API.

Thanks for the nice comment.

Thanks for the comment. I agree completely. I do not understand why developers take so much time coding a plugin and then simply pass it off to some other site. I understand hosting via the WP Plugin Repo but would think that they would want to discuss it and promote it via their own WordPress-based website.

It’s my belief when we take the time to post on our own websites, we take more care with the material, and are more likely to keep it up to date.
