Is it safe to use nulled plugins??

[Robert J. Dewey]

Nulled themes and plugins don't offer normal security updates. Hence even they don't have any malware, they're not safe to use. Users of nulled themes and plugins are not connected with the developers of the original software

NEVER use nulled plugins on sites. They can take down all sites on the server because they contain malicious code that is used for traffic stealing, database mining (stealing data), redirecting to criminal's site(s), used to remotely attack other servers, etc. Even images contain malicious code. Everyone should install Wordfence plugin on their sites and upgrade to the subscription if you have the funds. If you can't afford to buy your own Wordpress themes and plugins, I suggest you join a group buy so you get a legitimate copy of the developer's product. NEVER use nulled plugins on your sites or you will regret it.

Nulled WordPress plugins and themes are extremely dangerous for WordPress security

If its a money generating site then stay far away from it.

hey, folks, I am thinking to use nulled plugin (Imagify) but I was afraid of nulled plugin that it can harm my website so can u tell me is it safe to use nulled plugin.

It’s safe if you backup your site before you activate the plugin.

Dude, Imagify has one time plans, for 10 USD you get 1GB which they estimate as 10 000 images. It's pretty cheap therefore not worth the risk. You can use the same license on multiple websites also.

Never use nulled plugins. If you are serious about the project, never EVER use nulled plugins/themes. People will come up and say OH YES YOU CAN USE THEM. They are bunch of idiots. Some people are promoting services that are giving nulled themes/plugins for a subscription fee so they will always SUGGEST you to use nulled plugins/themes. Lemme tell you, if you are using a nulled theme/plugin, you can always get hacked (CHANCES ARE WAY MORE) because there's always a backdoor. No one can guarantee - HEY IF YOU USE MY NULLED THEMES/PLUGINS, you won't ever get hacked and if the seller is giving that guarantee, bro, you are going to get scammed SOONER OR LATER.

Save some money, buy premium themes/plugins and don't listen to people who are suggesting you to use nulled themes/plugins.

You won't believe, some of the people commenting here just to increase their post count and show their signature

Good Luck!

Unless you want your website to be hacked, then zi suggest you dont use them. Before when I was starting out I used nulled themes, and got both of my websites hacked and turned into some gore website. Trust me, not cool.

Don’t use nulled plugins if you don’t know what you’re doing. Most of them will probably have some additional code i.e. for backlinking, data collection or hacking your site. Trusted sources are debatable too because you can’t trust strangers on the internet no matter how reputable they are.

My solution if you want premium plugin for cheap is to look people on fiverr who sell their infinite license for €5 or so.

Some of the people in fiverr just sell nulled plugins

You need to get it from a good source. But there is always risk.

OP

If you can't afford $10 then look at GPL options. Just keep away from nulled themes and plugins.

It's like asking the guy just out of jail for burglary to come fit your locks and alarm system on your house, then wondering why you got burgled the week later.

Amateurs null them yourself and you wont have a problem or get them from a trusted source like @Festinger vault.

But yeah usually it is because people download from shady sources.

I had randomly landed on this website as I was looking for something on nulling plugins. I read about some answers on how to null the plugins yourself by @Festinger and I can tell you with utmost sincerity, man; this guy is a pro. He is really doing some great work for the community. I literally just made an account just to be a part of this forum which btw I NEVER do. I am smart enough to get the things I want from these forums without signing up for them but I just couldn't resist with this one. Glad to be a part of the family bro!

 

[Conrad Julian]

ok and how about removing malware parts of code how to get about that if i don't know lot (basics) of it are there any tools to help process?

 

[pocketttt]

there is always risk, so be careful

You really need to study them well. Some nulled themes / plugins are also not really a problem, but with some it displaces the site. Just be careful.

 

[Dopious]

If you are asking from a legal perspective, it’s not legal to have a nulled theme or plugin on your site, and you could easily get sued for that if someone realizes that you are making money using their script.

Care to comment this line in your article about "nulled" themes and plugins, in relation to the GPL license, and how it is not legal? That´s a really bold statement, when the rest of the WordPress community says otherwise, even the big names in the community. Shady - Yes, but not legal with the GPL framework - Hmm ..

Is there a free trial?
