WordPress Plugins I’m Currently Using


It’s been a while since I posted the plugins that I use on this site. I’ve added a few more this week including the dofollow plugin and the top commentators plugin you can see in my sidebar. If you are using any plugins that you think I should give a try, or are good replacements for the ones I’m using, then please let me know in a comment.

Below are the great WordPress plugins that I currently use on this site – all 33 of them:

  1. Angsuman’s Feed Copyrighter v1.0 by Angsuman Chakraborty: hopefully discourages content thieves
  2. Angsuman’s Referrer Bouncer v1.2 by Angsuman Chakraborty: Great tool for reducing referral spam
  3. Angsuman’s Translator Plugin Pro v4.0.1 by Angsuman Chakraborty: starting to come into it’s own by sending non-english traffic

  • The versatility of WordPress due to them being open source has ereally given them the bulk of the CMS / Blogging market. Thanks for a fine list of Plugins. Am new to your blog and very interested to see what you're up to, and have been up to. Keep up the good work.

    Wow, I can't believe how many resources you give away at this site. These plugins all look excellent – I'm definitely going to be checking them all out. Wordpress is a brilliant piece of software, in my opinion, much better than what others offer you. The fact that we can do much with it is simply excellent – and I'm only just getting into this, but it looks like a seriously major bit of fun. Social bookmarking is great too, only just got into it, but it's excellent. I think if Google went down for a day, I wouldn't be perturbed – as I use a lot of my social bookmarking sites to do searches instead of Google.
  • well a nice collection of very useful wp plugins .. keep it up bro ..
  • Great list. I have collected an A-Z-List of WP Plugins on my post, maybe this might interest you.
  • I used Searchmeter for a while when I used the WP search function, but I use Google now.
  • Why don't you try the searchmeter plugin? It's incredible!
  • Good work, I need a few plugins to make it smart for users

    Thanks a lot everton. I have just added that and it looks really cool and not cluttered as it was. i am really in love with your theme. May just change my other 2 blogs to your theme.
  • it's in the theme as long as you are using any version other than the first one (0.9) What you need to do is put the tabber.js file that is part of the download in the root directory of your blog and the tabs will magically appear
