Hey guys, I have recently started a wordpress website and i was wondering what are the best plugins to have? any help would be great.
contact7 for forms W3TC for speed WP Backup for counting chickens.. just kidding for backup WP eCommerce for selling chickens .. Think thats about it.
For SEO -> All in SEO Meta Robots Meta Tag Manager For speed ---> W3 super cache Wp-DB-Backup For Shopping cart Wp-E-commerce C forms - Good For Contact Extension plugin For .html and .php
Of course every blog has different objectives, so the needs are different. But my plug-ins are Akismet (anti-spam) CommentLuv (commenters love this one) FeedBurner FeedSmith Feed Subscriber Stats WordPress.com Stats WordPress Database Backup Wordpress Download Monitor WordPress Editorial Calendar -- LOVE this one! I wish I had known about this one sooner. WP-Polls Yet Another Related Posts Plugin
All in One SEO Pack WP-Cache Yet Another Related Posts Portfolio Slideshow cForms featured post with thumbnail Google Sitemap Generator Addthis etc.
That answer is going to change depending on who you ask. It's going to depend on what extra functionality that you want for your blog. Just because I use them, doesn't mean you need them. Our blogs are not alike. You can't follow what other people are doing, you need to find out what you need for your blog and what you want to do.
Akismet --> MUST HAVE PLUGIN and i use wp page numbers however, i just go to your blog.. to be honest, i really hate the site, like i want to crush and burn it because everytime i go to a post, i need to complete survey first, but there is no survey! then i can't open the content!
