Top 30 WordPress Plugins

Everton | Mar 31, 2007 | Comments 8


Staska.net have compiled a list of the Top 30 WordPress plugins based upon lists published by other bloggers. I’m only using 8 of the top 30 which I think is surprisingly low, and I was surprised to see that Spam Karma 2 and Comment Quicktags were missing.

What plugins would you have added to the list? Here’s the full list:

  1. Akismet
  2. Google Sitemap Generator
  3. Related posts
  4. WP-Contact Form
  5. Wordpress database backup
  6. Feedburner Feed Replacement
  7. Ultimate Tag Warrior
  8. Subscribe to comments
  9. AdSense Deluxe
  10. Gravatars
  11. Jerome’s Keywords plugin
  12. Optimal title
  13. Sociable
  14. WP-Cache 2.0
  15. Popularity Contest
  16. Sidebar Widgets
  17. Wp_Notable
  18. Simple Tags
  19. Adhesive
  20. Exec-php
  21. Extended live archive
  22. No ping wait
  23. PodPress
  24. SRG Clean Archives
  25. WP-Page Navi
  26. WP-Cron
  27. Wp-Shortstat
  28. Lightbox 2
  29. del.icio.us cached
  30. Get Recent Comments

    I suppose that Spam Karma 2 was replaced by Akismet.

    The list is pretty extensive, not much to add to it. Though I do run a couple of custom plugins that help with certain tasks, or are effectively a part of the layout.

    I think I only have about 6 or 7 on that list. Maybe I should take a look at the others.

    Great List. Got hold of some from your list. Thanks for the list – it definitely helped me and guessed has helped others too.

    @Tony, SK2 wasn’t replaced by anything.. it’s just that Akismet is marketted better. Loyal users like me won’t give up SK2 for Akismet ever.

    Instead Akismet is just one of my checks that SK2 runs…
