Useful Plugins

[guy_fraser]

Thought it might be useful to share lists of what plugins people find useful on their sites, as it takes lots of time to seek out decent plugins.

Here’s the ones I’ve found useful so far…

bbPress add-ons:

* Private Replies
* Auto-subscribe topics/replies
* bbPress Support Topics 1.x (I’m using v2 beta)

BuddyPress:

– General –

* Bowe (Short)Codes
* Blog Author Profile Link
* Direct Menus – bit clunky
* User Testimonials – bit clunky
* XProfile custom field types
* Following / Followers

– Activity Streams –

* Activity autoloader
* Editable activity
* Live (popup) notifications
* Facebook-like user activity stream
* Activity shortcode (alternate to the one bundled with KLEO)

– Groups –

* Group Email Subscription – bit clunky
* Group Hierarchy – bit clunky
* Group Hierarchy Propagate
* Group Organizer
* Groups Suggestions
* Sticky Groups

– Housekeeping / Spam prevention –

* Limit Friendship Reqest (see also: Limit Friendship)
* Extended Friendship Request
* Messages Spam Blocker
* Private Message Rate Limiter
* Moderation – bit clunky
* Pending Activations

– Content Creation –

* Buddydrive
* BuddyPress Docs – very clunky
* Social Articles

Mapping / Geolocation:

* GEO my WP
* Add-on – Exclude Members – not sitewide 🙁
* Add-on – Global maps
* Add-on – Groups Locator
* Add-on – Members Directory – very broken!
* Add-on – Nearby Posts
* Add-on – Premium Settings
* Add-on – Xprofile Fields

Other pluigns:

* Content Aware Sidebars
* DW Question Answer
* Fancier Author Box / Fanciest Author Box
* MOONLander Under Construction – breaks bbForums while active 🙁
* myCRED
* Restrict Usernames
* User Switching
* WP Admin No Show

What plugins are you using?

Let us know in the comments below 🙂

An alternative to DW Question Answer plugin might be AnsPress (still playing with both plugins so not sure which is best yet).

I was trying to install buddydrive but i dont want my users to get access to my admin and i am not sure if it works with the compatability of frontend submission

Abe you need to be providing updates to which of the features in this plugins Kleo theme already has to reduce duplication as we all know plugins make sites run slower.

Thanks.
I will provide a list of my plugins on my next post

anything for affiliate bloggers… unless I missed the obvious. Even if it’s a paid plugin.

Also wondering about affiliate bloggers.

Just purchased Analytify (http://wp-analytify.com/) Its a new plugin with a ton of potential. It allows you to view Google Analytics in the Admin, but unlike other GA plugins it also displays them in the page/post edit screens and on the page/post itself. The code is well written and support has been responsive (you know me, I cant stay away from customizing anything.) Should fit nicely into the Author metadata.

Seems interesting, I have used this plugin for two of my sites: http://codecanyon.net/item/premium-seo-pack-wordpress-plugin/6109437

[sharmstr]

@splendor – I have a private site and dont need/want any seo optimization and all the other stuff that comes with that plugin. I need analytic data at the page level for my authors (est 300 of them), not the site level. But thank you for the suggestion.

Its having a bit of an issue with BuddyPress pages. New plugin so its going to go through some growing pains. The poor developer has no idea who I am yet. 🙂 I’ll start a new topic with Kleo specific hacks for plugin soon.

I’ve recently started using a free plugin called Easy Modal which can be found here https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-modal/

It works well with BuddyPress, Kleo, Visual Composer etc. You can only configure one theme with the free version, and the options are pretty extensive for such a plugin – but of course you have the option to upgrade for more features. As far as I can tell so far there are no limits on the amount of modal windows you can create, and using it is as simple as setting a class for your link (whether text, image or menu item). I use this to show various contact forms to users when logged in and non-users when logged out. It’s worked well for me so I thought I would share 🙂

Thanks @Kieran for sharing 🙂

Not sure if this has been mentioned and, in no way am I an endorser or anything like that but for $8 a year (single site), Clean Talk has eliminated the need for a captcha and spam registrations completely. I actually ended up purchasing a 3-site license shortly after for a couple other sites I setup.

Could I recommend for bbpress this plugin? I had it developed for my gaming community and it works very well.
It addes thread prefixes to bbpress which I was surprised didn’t have built into the core.

Here is a menu plugin that hides/shows items to users based on logged in/out or roles
