Hello everybody, I hope you don't conider this post as a spam or a cheap ads campaign because Im posting this just to help bloggers who are confused about the plugins that they should use. i can't just copy the post because it will considerated as duplicated content and it will harm my blog in some way ( I don't know ) Well, I wrote a post about the necessary Wordpress plugins that every blogger should use. You can find them with description and download links here: http://www.zakshow.com/2008/07/14/list-of-necessary-wordpress-plugins/ What do you think guyz? Any other must have plugin should me added?
You have added nice plugins there at your blog. Don't you think that WP backup plugin also necessary It is also must IMO. DON.
hmm maybe the WP backup plugin is necessary but I don't use it because I don't upgrade my WP a lot, I still using the last 2.3 version and it works fine for me. Should I have to upgrade?
Backing up your site and upgrading are different. It is always a good idea to backup your information -- if your site experiences a catastrophic event you'll be able to get it back up and running with little to no data loss...
Oh I see what you mean, but this backup plugin is usually used for upgrading. And thanks for your advice I have an automatic backup system from the cpanel. i make a one new copy every week and I store it in my hard drive.
That is a good list. Cheers! They just released version 2.6 so maybe it's a good time to upgrade. They fixed 194 bugs from version 2.5 alone. It's scary to think how many bugs have been fixed since version 2.3.
Who told you this Back up plugin is same as taking backup through cpanel. There are also option to take backup daily,weekly,monthy etc. Its always safe to take backup of your DB. DON.
Does the backup plugin backup the MySQL database only or the whole WP folder? I backup through cPanel every night.
Yes me too, I backup from the cpanel, I don't trust the backup plugin as much as I trust the cpanel. And as you said they have tp be some much bugs in the 2.3 version so how I cab trust a plugin to do the important backup work
oh good list there, I found all the plugins that I was lookng for, I hope that they will work fine with the new 2.6 version.
