Proseguo con la carrellata di novità, plugin e consigli sul mondo WordPress vedendo a distanza di tempo dall’ultimo mio intervento “WordPress plugin V” cosa bolle nella rete. Come da titolo, partiamo da una serie di interessanti ed essenziali Plugin per la nostra piattaforma.
Akismet . This one should be a no-brainer. Akismet uses their web service to check the comments on your blog to see if it looks like spam. The plugin is developed by the creators of WordPress, so it’s integrated nicely and is included in the WordPress install. All you need is a WordPress.com API key to get it up and running.
Custom more link. One thing that always bothered me about the the read more tag in WordPress is how when you click into the full article, it jumps down to where the more tag was inserted. This plugin allows you to get rid of that and completely customize the link. Download Custom More Link Plugin
Different post per page. Let’s say that you want to display 3 posts on the homepage, 10 posts on the category pages, and 20 on the archives. If you want to avoid touching any of the template coding, you can just use this plugin to customize the number of posts that are displayed per page. Download Different Posts Per Page Plugin
No self ping plugin. Trackbacks are a great way to allow people to link to and discuss your blog articles, but this can also include your own site when you link to your own article. It would probably be better to use a related posts plugin for those, so this plugin is useful for filtering out your own trackbacks. Download No Self Pings Plugin
Redirection. If you are moving from an existing website into WordPress, your URLs will probably be different. This plugin is useful for adding 301 redirects to make sure that users can end up in the right place. You can also keep track of 404 errors or create other redirects with full Regular Expression support. Download Redirection Plugin
Search Unleashed. The regular WordPress search leaves a lot to be desired. This plugin fills that desire. You can perform full text searches on all posts, pages, comments, and other meta-data. The search index is automatically updated whenever you add or edit content, so you never have to worry about it being out of date. Download Search Unleashed Plugin
WP-PageNavi. Instead of using the WordPress default previous and next links, this plugin adds a more advanced navigation. You can also completely customize the display of the pagination. Download WP-PageNavi Plugin
WP-Tipography. Instead of using primes for quotes ( ′ & ″ ) use real quotes instead ( ’ & ” ). This plugin will automatically correct quotes and apply additional typographic enhancements. Sometimes it’s the small details that count. Download wp-typogrify Plugin
WP-Security Scan. The WordPress team does a great job of addressing major security issues as they arise, but there are other steps you can take to secure your site. This plugin will run a scan and help you take the additional protection steps needed. Download WP Security Scan Plugin
