Too Many Stupid Wordpress Plugins!!!!

ryanstreet · 09-10-2009, 03:08 PM

All-In-One
Caffeinated Content
Google XML sitemaps
Popup Plugins
Link Cloakers
Custom Plugins

The list goes on and on.

If there were just 5 plugins you would say were absolutely vital to your blog, what would they be? Thanks for your input.

Thanks dude. (I knew All-in-one would top the list)

opportunites · 09-10-2009, 03:21 PM

Thank you both of you!

I need it to know about this also.

KarenKramer · 09-10-2009, 03:26 PM

All-in-one SEO
WP-Backup
Pretty Link
Cross Linker
Chat Catcher

And I positively can't live without PhotoDropper

clickbump · 09-10-2009, 03:32 PM

Ditto and...
Search & Replace by Frank Bültge

sashas · 09-10-2009, 03:35 PM

Platinum SEO (All-In-One asks me to enable it manually after each upgrade (which is like every 2 days..))
Google XML Sitemap Generator
Advertising Manager
One-Click-Plugin-Updater (HUGE time saver)
WP-DB-Backup

Always backup your database. I learned the hard way when my 60+ post blog got hacked because of malware and I had to start from scratch.

thunderbird · 09-10-2009, 03:55 PM

Google XML Sitemap Generator
Broken Link Checker
Exec-php (so php code can be used in sidebars)
WPAds (to rotate ad code and whatnot on site)

Really plugins are stupid? I've always thought that it was kind of the other way around. People not understanding how to leverage the platform properly.

There is plenty of room for development, but WordPress has some amazingly powerful, flexible, extensible, and easy to use plug ins.

People complain about things they do not fully understand.

Istvan Horvath · 09-10-2009, 04:08 PM

This has been discussed several times (i.e. plugins) - most recently this thread has been revived earlier today:
Must Have Wordpress Plugins?

katiec · 09-10-2009, 04:14 PM

All In One and Google XML top my list.

tommen · 09-10-2009, 04:18 PM

Here´s my list:
Akismet
All-in-One Seo
Feedburner feedsmith
Google XML sitemaps
Sociable

Frosy · 09-10-2009, 04:22 PM

Also...

S3 backup
Login Lockdown
WP Security Scan
Easy Tube

but your are right, the list goes on and on..

Frosy · 09-10-2009, 04:24 PM

oh and...

Comment Luv

Go a post a comment on my blog and you'll see how it works. You would need to use your current WP login as it grabs your latest post from your blog.

A nice link back for you

Anderson Goncalves · 09-10-2009, 04:28 PM

Yep, there's a lot of useless plugins out there, we need to be careful to not mess up with wordpress. I always think twice before installing one..

ryanstreet · 09-10-2009, 05:31 PM

Wow!

Thanks everyone!

It seems a certain number of plugins seem to keep making the top 5.

I also agree with you Anderson. You have to be careful of what plugins you use. You never know when one of them may be more detrimental to your blog than helpful.

Thank you for your do nothing, non-contributing, worthless comment...

Understand sarcasm when you see it. It was a representation of frustration for a problem that I was looking to simplify on my own blog. But thanks a lot for trying to be self-righteous and 'holier-than-thou' on a forum where people are looking to collaborate and help one another. You effectively made yourself look like an ass to everyone who looked at this topic.

dzoy2008 · 09-17-2009, 08:53 PM

I prefer to:
Statpress
All-In-One SEO
Google XML sitemaps
WP Upgrade
Google XML Sitemap Generator

^ Can you explain the basic features of each one......

Please describe what the Wp plugin you are listing does People,

Same with everyone- Can you explain the features of the Plugins, and what they do, what they help with.

That would help (as you can tell with many of them from their names)

Please describe what the Wp plugin you are listing does- That would be great
