Another Plugin is Using Yours Inside Its Folder
-
Hi @dovyp,
I’m quite new to WordPress so don’t hesitate to correct me if I make some incorrect assumption or mistake. My doubt is that I recently installed a plugin for accepting cryptocurrency payments in my website but noticed that Nomiddleman’s plugin uses yours inside its folder. The route where your plugin is included is:
/plugins/nomiddleman-crypto-payments-for-woocommerce/src/vendor/ReduxFrameworkI have several questions that the author of this plugin hasn’t answered yet:
- Why doesn’t he disclose the use of your plugin in the description?
- Why your plugin is hidden from the list of installed plugins, in the admin area? But instead a link to your plugin settings is shown in the admin sidebar
- For what purpose does he include your plugin inside his own? Just to edit his plugin options and GUI?
- Could he use your plugin for more nefarious purposes, given it manages a sensitive area such as payments?
- Is it a normal practice to include another author plugin inside your own? First time I see this but the path /src/vendor/ tells me it could be some kind of licensing.
Apologies if I’m being a bit paranoid but since the original author hasn’t answered yet I prefer to be over cautious. Thanks for your attention
