Our Wordpress plugin list

#“Our Wordpress plugin list”

Our LouderVoice Business site runs on Wordpress. What started as a simple (albeit award-winning!) information site has now become a full blown CMS with access controls and tons of customisation. If you are thinking of doing similar, here is a list of the main plugins we are currently using:

  • Akismet - Anti-spam
  • Contact Form 7 - Simple Contact Forms
  • Contact Form 7 widget - Contact Forms in your sidebar
  • Custom Permalinks - Create your own URLs
  • Deactivate Visual Editor - Deactivate the visual editor on specific pages/posts
  • Disable wptexturize - Disable Wordpress screwing with your content
  • FAQ-Tastic - Build FAQs
  • FeedBurner FeedSmith - For RSS
  • Google XML Sitemaps - Does what it says on the tin
  • Live Comment Preview - Ditto
  • My Page Order - Arange your page menus in the order you want them
  • Search Everything - Search more than page/post content
  • Subscribe To Comments - Keeps readers updated
  • User Access Manager - Access Control to files/pages
  • Wordpress Automatic Upgrade - Beats the built-in WP one hands-down
  • WordPress Database Backup - Set it on a cron job
  • WordPress Exploit Scanner - Great tool by @donncha
  • WP-Cycle - Image Gallery for sidebar
  • WP Security Scan - Does what it says on the tin
  • WP Super Cache - Speed up your site by 4 bajillion times. Again by @donncha
