There are many good plugins available for Wordpress. A small number of these plugins are really useful and are a bloggers must have plugins. These plugins have not been coded by me, but I will soon create a plugin for my readers to download and use. All these plugins are easy to install. You simply need to upload them to the WP plugin folder and then add a small code to the post or page where you want the “plugin” to appear. Every plugin comes with an instruction from the author. If you encounter any problems send me a message.
1.) Forum Plugin :
The forum plugin is simple but good. You can fully customize this forum, no html or php knowledge required. You can view the forum.
2.) E-Commerce Plugin :
This plugin is really great to sell your products or services, with Paypal integration. The sales can also be monitored in the admin area of your blog. You can view the shop.
3.) Alinks Contents Link Plugin :
This plugin is very useful in view of internal linking or creating affiliate links. You can specify a list of keywords and the plugin will then search your contents for these keywords and you can then link the keywords to url’s. For example you have a web design page, you use the words web design and connect them to your web design website url. When ever a reader clicks on any of these text link he will be sent to your web design website.
4.) User Online Plugin :
This plugin lets you monitor the user activities in your admin area. The update time can be adjusted for close to real time stats. Will give you details of the users and the bots that visit your site. The side bar widget lets your readers see current visitor activity.
5.) Rating Plugin :
Use this plugin so that your readers can rate single posts and/or pages. With the side bar widget you can display the highest rated posts. I am using the rating system on my blog but not the side bar widget due to a lack of space.
6.) Democracy Pol Plugin :
This short format survey system helps you get feedback. You can use this voting system to get opinions from others about your blog. You can use the plugin for posts, pages and in the side bar widgets. Very useful little plugin.
7.) Simple Contact for plugin :
There a numerous nice contact form plugins to be found but not to many that are as simple as this one, and this plugin version can be used on different pages with different recipient settings. Very useful if you have multiple authors on a single blog.
8.) Admin Switcher Plugin :
If you have several blogs then it can be useful if you can switch between the admin area of each blogs with a single mouse click. The other option would me using WP-MU, did a post on that some time ago.
9.) Directory Plugin :
With a little customization you can convert any WP blog into a great directory. If you place the directory in a post and set the post to be your main page then you have a perfect free directory.
