The Top Ten WordPress Plugins

Mar 5, 2006 at 6:45pm in Software

If you run a blog from your own website, most likely you’re using WordPress. While WordPress is great by itself, the majority of WordPress’ usefulness comes from its plugins. Some of the best and most creative features come from plugins, and because plugins are so easy to create and install, there are literally hundreds of WordPress plugins.

If you’re new to WordPress, finding the perfect plugin is often a difficult task. Sometimes there are eight plugins that do the same thing, which makes it difficult to find the plugin which works the best. Or, you just simply don’t know that a plugin exists. That’s why I’m here to help.

I’ve been a WordPress user since the 1.0 days. During that time, I’ve seen my share of WordPress plugins. Some have failed, while others have evolved into essential features. From my experience, I hope that when you’re done reading this list, you’ll have some plugins that will not only make your life as blogger easier, but that your visitors will find your site more useful.

10. Permalink Redirect

One of the fatal flaws of WordPress is that URLs with a trailing slash are the same as URLs without. This is bad for your stats since one page can show up under multiple URLs, and it’s also bad for search engines who may duplicate your pages in their results. That’s why there’s Permalink Redirect. Permalink Redirect will issue a 301, permanently moved, redirection to anyone accessing your page via the non-permalink URL. This insures that it won’t happen again, and that your web stats will remain clean.

9. Time Zone

If you run your blog in a time zone that observes Daylight Savings Time, you’ll quickly learn WordPress doesn’t like DST. While Daylight Savings Time only occurs twice a year, it’s still a pain to remember to set your GMT offset when DST takes effect. Time Zone solves this problem of forgetful DST switching. Instead of basing your blog time off of an offset from GMT, Time Zone enables WordPress to use your actual time zone, thus allowing WordPress to observe Daylight Savings Time. A must for any DST-bound blogger.

8. WordPress Database Backup / WP-Cron

Backing up your WordPress database is just as important as backing up your computer. You never know when you’ll do something stupid to your database. Unfortunately backing up a database can be an annoying task. That’s why WordPress Database Backup was created. It allows for one-click backups via download, server directory, or email, all straight from your WordPress administration interface.

Since WordPress 2.0, the WordPress creators have acknowledged that database backup is important, and now include WordPress Database Backup by default. However, you can still make the plugin more useful. WP-Cron, a plugin by the same author, gives WordPress Database Backup a new option, automatic backups. With WP-Cron installed you can schedule backups of your database to be made every 24 hours; perfect if you have a Gmail account just hungry for something to store.

7. Popularity Contest

Wouldn’t it be great to know just how popular your entries are? Popularity Contest does just that. By tracking page views, feed views, comments, and trackbacks, Popularity Contest assigns each post a rating based off of your most popular post. After it has a post rating, you can display the popularity in a number of ways. You can put the percent popularity in each post, display your top X posts somewhere on your site, or just keep the statistics to yourself by viewing the detailed popularity page which is added to your WordPress administration interface. Popularity Contest is perfect for new visitors, helping them get up to speed by viewing what’s popular on your site.

6. Gravatars

One of the most popular ways to identify users on forums is by avatars. The Gravatars plugin brings that same personalization to WordPress comments. By using the power of the Gravatar service, the Gravatars plugin is able to display an avatar next to users’ comments. Many of your visitors probably already have a Gravatar, so why not make your visitors’ comments a little more personal by letting them display it.

5. WP-ContactForm

Don’t want to give away your email but still want your visitors to contact you? An email form added by WP-ContactForm is the perfect solution. Instead of messing around creating one yourself, WP-ContactForm does all the hard work for you, allowing you to just drop a contact form on any post or page throughout your WordPress site. Your visitors will thank you when then realize how easy is to contact you.

4. Subscribe to Comments

Often on blogs, visitors will leave comments on which they want to track. Unfortunately, they often forget to check back, or choose not to because they don’t have an easy way. Subscribe to Comments solves this problem. By placing a checkbox next to your comment form, visitors can easily check that box to receive email updates as comments are added to the post. This not only makes it easier on your visitors to follow conversations, but increases the chances that the visitor will check back on your site. A win-win situation!

3. Related Posts

When a visitor finds your website via a search engine or other website, they’re often there for a reason. They want to find out about a particular topic of interest. Related Posts makes life easier on your visitors by showing them other posts you’ve written on the subject. This greatly increases the chance that a visitor will stick around browsing your blog, and is perfect for existing visitors to find out your past thoughts on a particular subject.

2. Ultimate Tag Warrior

Web 2.0 has brought a lot of interesting ideas to websites, tags being one of them. Ultimate Tag Warrior allows you to starting following the fad and tag your posts. There are a lot of great reason to tag. It helps narrow down what the post is about, it provides an easy form of navigating your site, and it allows Technorati to do a better job indexing your posts. The Technorati factor alone is a great reason to start tagging because your posts become easier to find at Technorati, thus driving more traffic to your website.

1. Akismet

Spam is a big problem with WordPress based blogs. It seems that as soon as your site is indexed in a search engine, the spam comments start flooding in. Stop the spam now with Akismet. Akismet, is a spam killing plugin created by Matt Mullenweg, the founder of WordPress, so you know it’s good. Akismet is tightly integrated with WordPress itself, allowing for easy comment management. Every comment you get is sent through Akismet’s spam-detecting servers for community-based spam analysis. The result? Ridiculously low false-positives, and an almost nonexistent false-negatives.

Don’t like the idea of all your visitors’ comments going through someone else’s server? Check out Spam Karma 2. It’s just as good as Akismet and deserves the rating along side Akismet as the number one WordPress plugin.

    Yeah, SK2 rocks.

    However, to cut down on the spam I get in the first place, I use Bad Behavior as well. It blocks bots from accessing my site in the first place so they can’t collect e-mail addresses and such, waste my bandwidth, etc.

    I’ve always had bad luck with Bad Behavior. I would often get kicked off of my own site for random reasons, and many of my visitors reported the same problem. It’s possible it has since been fixed, but I’m not worried about it anymore. My spam is virtually zero with Akismet installed.

    Good Stuff! Picked up a new plugin out of that list. :-)

    I’d add wp-notable (http://www.calevans.com/view.php/page/notable) as one of my “new” favorites. Oh, and “A different monthly archive” (http://www.oneofthosedays.org.uk/projects/plugin-archives) was introduced to me just yesterday and already being added all over the place.

    Cheers.

    I guess it’s a very subjective question (and list).
    I found it depends very much on what the general structure of the blog is and what you want to do with your blog. Doing a lof of customization work for WP installs I use almost everywhere the get_a_post plugin by Kafkaesquí: it gives the possibility to edit different portions of the home.php template via the admin panel.
    Of course, the first two things I install are the spam protection SK and BB plugins.
    I don’t really have a list of 10 because it changes all the time. On my personal blogs I tend to keep the plugins’ number to a minimum.

    Correct. Wordpress.com does not support installable plugins. If you run WordPress off of any other host that you install WordPress yourself, you can add WordPress plugins.

    Very nice list. 3 of my favorites were mentioned:

    1. Custom Query String lets you easily control how many entries show up on your home page, in search results, archives, etc. Very handy.

    2. My favorite photo gallery plugin is myGallery. Once you figure how it works, it is very powerful and comes with the cool lightbox effect for viewing larger versions of photos.

    3. I don’t always use this but it’s nice to have a theme switcher on the website from time to time to allow users to pick their own.

    Askimet, Ultimate Tag Warrior, and Related Post are all great… I use them the most on all my blogs.. they work great and never fail.

    I wrote a plugin that ties into Ultimate Tag Warrior that helps with WordPress blog meta tags and titles, even the auto discovery of your rss feeds as well.

    You can get it here at: Wordpress SEO plugin

    It seems that most WordPress blog could stand to use some SEO, and I hope my plugin could help them

    Thanks for showing people how great Askimet, UTW3, and Related Post plugins are!

    How do you keep the spammers from eating you alive? i\’ve seen blogs with nothing but spam postings.

    How do you keep some left wing extremist from posting racist or defamatory rhetoric? and if you cant stop them, what are you legally liabel when they do?

    can viruses be posted to blogs?

    These are great plugins. The only problem with Akismet is that you have to check your queue daily for legit comments. I found a kick butt plugin recently called WP-SpamFree that stops comment spam cold. It cuts spambots off at the source - the comments don’t even get into Akismet. Definitely check it out.
