+===== Plugins =====

+I have the following plugins activated:
-/*
+  * [[https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce/|WooCommerce]] (duh).
-Theme Name: Mithat's Storefront Child
+  * [[https://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack/|Jetpack]], because WooCommerce requires it. Yay :-\.
-Theme URI: n/a
+  * [[https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-pdf-invoices-packing-slips/|WooCommerce PDF Invoices & Packing Slips]]. I'm not sure if this came with the default WooCommerce install.
-Description: Storefront modified by mfk.
+  * [[https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-services/|WooCommerce Shipping & Tax]]. Ditto.
-Author: Automattic/mfk
+  * A WooCommerce checkout gateway. The checkout gateway I originally set up is being discontinued, so it will need to be changed. Yay :-\. See below.
-Author URI: https://mithatkonar.com
+  * [[https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/|WP Mail SMTP]], so I can send email using my Gmail/G Suite account. This worked fine when I first set it up, but changes in Google authentication mean I have to jump through some more hoops to get things to work. Yay :-\.
-Template: storefront
+  * [[https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpforms-lite/|WPForms Lite]]. I don't know how useful this will be.
-Version: 0.1.0
+  * [[https://wordpress.org/plugins/really-simple-ssl/|Really Simple SSL]].
-*/
+  * [[https://wordpress.org/plugins/updraftplus/|UpdraftPlus - Backup/Restore]], as a backup solution.
+  * [[https://wordpress.org/plugins/homepage-control/|Homepage Control]]. I'm not sure I actually use this. Also it "has not been tested with your current version of WordPress." Yay :-\.
+  * [[https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/|Classic Editor]], because the new Gutenberg block editor kinda sucks.
+  * [[https://wordpress.org/plugins/restore-classic-widgets/|Restore Classic Widgets]], ditto.
-/* make the brand bigger. */
+This is a fair amount of surface that could become problematic (e.g., becomes abandonware, develops security issues, etc.). Jetpack is freemium SAAS with a FOSS client. I haven't vetted the licensing of the other plugins for FOSS compliance.
