WordPress & Webflow Developer

Aftab Memon is a Senior WordPress Developer at ConicPlex, working across everything from plugin conflicts and theme customization to full site builds on Elementor and WooCommerce. He spends most of his time in the parts of WordPress that don’t show up in a features list: hosting quirks, hook priority, the difference between a plugin that works in isolation and one that survives a real production stack. He writes here about what actually holds up once a WordPress site is live and being run by a non-technical client, not just what works in a demo.
