What are Publisher Plugins?

BetterStudio has produced different plugins and always tries to do its best not only in quality and features of plugins but also to provide a satisfying support of plugins. Most of the Publisher plugins are among the most strong ones of their field.

BetterStudio plugins are fully compatible with Publisher theme and most of the standard WordPress themes but for now they are exclusive for Publisher theme and cannot be downloaded or purchased (it might change in future).

BetterStudio plugins are included in Publisher package and add various and amazing features to that. Also there are other highly compatible free and premium plugins included in Publisher. Premium plugins probably save you more than 70$.

What Is the Theme Lock-in Effect?

Let’s say you get yourself a shiny new theme for your WordPress website. This theme provides everything that you need: it has built-in weather system, custom post types, and YouTube playlist style—even some room for adding SEO meta code.

You develop this website for a while. Later on, say after a few months, or maybe even a year, you decide to change your theme. You get another shiny new theme, and switch the themes, you notice that all your awesome built-in tools, custom post types, and a lot more has just vanished. Not deleted, not removed, nothing—just gone!

This is precisely what the theme lock-in effect is. By opting for a theme that performed tasks that it should not have performed in the first place, your website became locked to a particular theme, and the moment you changed your theme, everything fell out of place.

An Important Note About Premium Plugins Activation

BetterStudio bought extended licence of two premium plugins, Visual Composer & Slider Revolution, so there is no need every individual user activate these two plugins by an activation code.

These type of plugins are called Bundled Plugins; they may ask for a purchase code for registration/activation once installed, however, you can simply ignore these messages as bundled plugins do not require activation or registration. The plugin will still work as intended with the theme once the Publisher has been registered. Read more about bundled plugins.
