After a quick chat with miwi, I ask myself how many people actually are interested in plugins for WP and how much plugins people have on average?
Miwi has currently 4 plugins installed. I have 30 plugins installed as of this writing:
- Akismet: comes with WP, anti-SPAM
- AskApache RewriteRules Viewer: gives some info about the apache rewrite rules used in WP
- Better Search: improves the search features of WP
- Bot Tracker: shows which bots crawl your site (no robot crawled mine yet, I assume I have not activated it long enough and need to wait a little bit until I see some results)
- Broken Link Checker: checks my blog for broken links
- Contextual Related Posts: adds “Related Posts:” to new postings, not always up to the task (as can be seen in this posting), but I hope it will improve with time when I post more
- Dashboard: Latest Spam: gives some info in the dashboard about the blog-SPAM
- FD Word Statistics: gives some infos about the “complexity” of your posts in the posting editor
- GD Press Tools: a collections of multiple features/stats/…
- GD Simple Widgets: not used yet, provides widgets for the sidebar which also come with the WP-core, but this ones are modified/enhanced; I have not tested this yet
- GD Star Rating: allows you to rate my postings with stars and thumbs up/down (feel free to do it here, if you found something useful 😉 )
- Import HTML Pages: if I want to import existing HTML pages… I have not decided yet if I will use it or not
- Limit Login Attempts: IMO something like this belongs into the WP-core
- Plugin Manager: I want to give it a try
- Quick Stats: some additional stats
- Search Meter: gives you some info about the searches people do in the blog (nobody searched something yet…)
- Simple Trackback Validation: an anti-SPAM plugin, or at least some sanity checking
- TanTanNoodles Simple Spam Filter: some simple anti-SPAM rules
- TinyMCE Advanced: I want some more buttons in my posting-editor
- Weasels No HTTP Author: anti-SPAM, do not allow http:// in the name of authors (comments, …)
- WordPress.com Stats: do I really need to explain this?
- WP-Stats-Dashboard: simplifies the handling of the “WordPress.com Stats”-features
- wp-Typography: automatic typographic improvements to postings, I do not know if it is useful for non-English texts, but at least my postings in English look better
- WP Math Publisher: allows to place some more mathematical rendering of math-equations in postings, e.g. the golden ratio:
- WP Security Scan: scans your blog setup for known security holes
- WP Update Message: allows to put a “posting updated: XXX changed”-box into your postings
- Delete Spam Daily: not activated yet, as I did not get any SPAM yet, I can not make a controlled test, so I wait
- Hello Dolly: plugin comes with WP-core, not activated
- Login LockDown: not activated, I will delete it soon, as I like the “Limit Login Attempts”-plugin more
- One-Time Password: does not work out of the box for me, it looks like it does not find php-otp (it is not installed, and I need to have a look if it comes with php-otp included and iit s not found, or if I have to install it)
Can happily recommend dspam. Just switched from SpamAssassin to dspamm and its more accurate using fewer resources.
You use(d) dspam/SpamAssassin in WordPress? How?
