WordPress plugins and hacks

This is a post collecting some plugins and solutions I’ve found for WordPress. I’ll keep adding links as I find new things. Most of these are from posts in the WordPress category, but these are direct links to the hack/plugin itself, not to my posts about them (unless that’s the source of the hack), so it should be more handy.

WordPress errors:

  1. WordPress 406 errors Not acceptable
  2. WordPress “You don’t have permission to do that” error

Plugins/Widgets:

For functionality…

  1. Add To Any- very low clutter plugin/widget for people to bookmark your posts and subscribe to RSS.
  2. Another low-clutter widget solution to bookmarks and subscriptions: RSS Subscriber
  3. A dropdown category widget that works better than most
  4. Preview Theme lets you view your new theme without visitors seeing it
  5. A plugin that very easily lets you create a horizontal drop down menu in the header of your WordPress template. Amazing out of the box, also very customizable.

For SEO…

  1. Permalink Redirect makes it so all your URL’s have a trailing slash, which is good for SEO
  2. Rewrite Titles – Puts your blog’s name at the end of the article title instead of the other way around.
  3. Dagon’s Sitemap plugin
  4. The FeedBurner plugin that lets you track all your RSS subscriptions in one place
