Nulled themes & plugins question

IM Dude · Jun 13, 2020

Lately top WordPress plugin elementor pro is exposed to have vulnerabilities. Which places premium themes and plugins in the category of nulled ones. At this point I think everything is up for grabs for hackers. So WordPress community needs to come up with a better process of securing the websites as clients are loosing faith in WordPress. They want a truely fire and forget solution.

Broke and not serious are not the same

If you are serious about the project, how can you think of allowing one more chance of getting the project ruined due to malicious codes? (Not saying licensed products are 100% protected from any vulnerability)
Theme/plugins lest say cost $50 - In case site gets hacked, it'll cost you three times that money easily to get the site cleaned. Better safe than sorry.

If I/you/OP is broke, just ask for some upfront money from the client. Its better to let the client know you are using nulled theme/plugins - if they are OK with taking a chance, its their problem, not yours.

If the client does not know of being used nulled theme/plugins, then its an extremely unprofessional move.
Being broke and being unprofessional is not the same.

I have been using nulled stuff since decades, never faced any kind of problems with downloading from some trusted sources.
Also, not everyone has its own clients, and it can be really hard for people living in a 3rd tier country where you can't find a job, and even if you can, you will get paid as less as $100 per month (even less in some countries), so buying a theme ($50) + few plugins ($100) can be nearly impossible for some people.

Everyone is aware of what's he's doing and free to do it at his own risk
Nulled theme is professional, it's the same as the paid one, lol

If someone is just starting, then its OK to use those stuffs but one has to understand that he is possibly leaving one more hole in the security department.
Not everyone has 'trusted source' for nulled stuff as well.

You proudly say you've using nulled stuff since decades...
Any theme/plugin/software takes so much time to create - Its normally good to pay for the software when you can.

You are correct with this part, I always try to pay as far as I got extra cash for it
Downloading nulled stuff is risky, but being aware of the thing itself and from where to download makes the risks as low as nothing to worry about!

If you are starting a serious project, would you use nulled themes and plugins provided by members offering here? Specially Festinger...

Please share your opinion.

I have used few themes from Festinger, I was lucky to clone his fault back then when it was shared and as a matter of fact non of the themes gave me issue, I am even planning to purchase is membership any time soon.
