Plug-in to WordPress
January 7, 2012The WordPress platform is a huge favourite at Web Design Daventry and we all thought we should share with you what are favourite plug-ins are in order to make life a lot more pleasant and user friendly for all those budding designers wanting to explore this amazing content management system. We’re nice like that you see.
RYO Category Visibility
Only available through the following link, http://ryowebsite.com/wp-plugins/category-visibility/, this plug-in will prove very useful if you’re looking to exclude certain post titles from the latest posts feed, front-end feed, search results, well everything actually. Great if you have a lot of posts that you don’t want visible on your news homepage.
WP-Paginate
This simple to use plug-in is a great way to divide the amount of posts present on your wordpress’ index.php. It allows you to go from an amateur looking site where users have to scroll endlessly down the page to having chic, clean and professional look by only displaying a certain number of posts. Don’t worry though; users can still see older posts by clicking on the automatically installed page numbers at the top and bottom.
NextGen Gallery
Our web designers only stumbled across this recently. NextGen Gallery allows you to combine a gallery feature into your posts. This plug-in is a must if you’re looking to add any number of imagery to your posts. Included is a number of effects including the simple thumbnail look or a more sleek look slideshow, the choice is yours and more importantly, your clients.
Wordgento
More for the Magento users our there, we came across this plug-in by accident and found it was perfect if you were an avid Magento developer wanting to incorporate Magento features such as the cart, comparable items and basket into your WordPress. With simple to use step by step guides, you’ll be amazed at how easy and effective this plug-in is to setup and use.
