A real timesaver

Don’t you find it tedious and complicated to have to first delete a file and then upload one with the exact same name every time you want to update an image or any uploaded file inside the WordPress media library?

Well, no longer!

Now you’ll be able to replace any uploaded file from the media “edit” view, where it should be. Media replacement can be done in one of two ways:

It’s simple to replace a file

  1. Just replace the file. This option requires you to upload a file of the same type as the one you are replacing. The name of the attachment will stay the same no matter what the file you upload is called.
  2. Replace the file, use new file name and update all links. If you check this option, the name and type of the file you are about to upload will replace the old file. All links pointing to the current file will be updated to point to the new file name.

This plugin is very powerful and a must-have for any larger sites built with WordPress.

How posts are navigated, and post types and post statuses to restrict navigation can be customized via filters (see Filters section).NOTE: Be sure to save the post currently being edited before navigating away to the previous/next post.

Usage

This was built considering for everyone to be able to use no matter the WordPress experience, so it’s very easy:

30 Disable Comments http://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-comments/ Allows administrators to globally disable comments on their site. Comments can be disabled according to post type. Multisite friendly.This plugin allows administrators to globally disable comments on any post type (posts, pages, attachments, etc.) so that these settings cannot be overridden for individual posts. It also removes all comment-related fields from edit and quick-edit screens. On multisite installations, it can be used to disable comments on the entire network.Additionally, comment-related items can be removed from the Dashboard, Widgets, the Admin Menu and the Admin Bar.Important note: Use this plugin if you don’t want comments at all on your site (or on certain post types). Don’t use it if you want to selectively disable comments on individual posts – WordPress lets you do that anyway. If you don’t know how to disable comments on individual posts, there are instructions in the FAQ.
31 Posts 2 Posts http://wordpress.org/plugins/posts-to-posts/ This plugin allows you to create many-to-many relationships between posts of any type: post, page, custom etc. A few example use cases:

  • manually curated lists of related posts

  • favorite posts of users
  • multiple authors per post
  • etc.
32 Ajax Thumbnail Rebuild http://wordpress.org/plugins/ajax-thumbnail-rebuild/ AJAX Thumbnail Rebuild allows you to rebuild all thumbnails on your site. There are already some plugins available for this, but they have one thing in common: All thumbnails are rebuilt in a single step. This works fine when you don’t have that many photos on your site. When you have a lot of full-size photos, the script on the server side takes a long time to run. Unfortunately the time a script is allowed to run is limited, which sets an upper limit to the number of thumbnails you can regenerate. This number depends on the server configuration and the computing power your server has available. When you get over this limit, you won’t be able to rebuild your thumbnails.Why would you want to rebuild your thumbnails? WordPress allows you to change the size of thumbnails. This way, you can make the size of thumbnails fit the design of your website. When you change the size to fit for a new theme, all future photos you are going to upload will have this new size. Your old thumbnails won’t be resized. That’s where this plugin comes into action. After changing the image sizes, you can rebuild all thumbnails. But instead of telling the server to recreate all thumbnails at once, they are rebuilt one after another. Rebuilding thumbnails for one photo won’t take all too long, so you won’t run into any script timeouts. Note that you still have to wait until all thumbnails have been rebuilt. If you close the page before the task is completed, you have to start all over again.You can also select the thumbnail sizes you want to rebuild, so that you don’t need to recreate all images if you’ve just changed one thumbnail-size. You can also choose to only rebuild post thumbnails (featured images).This plugin requires JavaScript to be enabled.
33 WordPress SEO http://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/ WordPress out of the box is already technically quite a good platform for SEO, this was true when I wrote my original WordPress SEO article in 2008 (and updated every few months) and it’s still true today, but that doesn’t mean you can’t improve it further! This plugin is written from the ground up by Joost de Valk and his team at Yoast to improve your site’s SEO on allneeded aspects. While this WordPress SEO plugin goes the extra mile to take care of all the technical optimization, more on that below, it first and foremost helps you write better content. WordPress SEO forces you to choose a focus keyword when you’re writing your articles, and then makes sure you use that focus keyword everywhere.
34 Meta Box http://wordpress.org/plugins/meta-box/ Meta Box plugin provides an API to easily implement custom meta boxes in editing pages (add new/edit post) in WordPress. It works with custom post types and supports various field types.Features

36 SO Dashboard Feed Widget http://wordpress.org/plugins/dashboard-feed-widget/ The SO Dashboard Feed Widget shows the latest Posts from a site of your choice in the top of the WordPress Dashboard.On websites I develop for clients I always add this widget to their WordPress Dashboard to keep them informed on general updates regarding their websites. I thought it would be a handy tool for other developers, so I turned my widget into a plugin.The default settings are:- the standard title of the widget box is “Recent Updates”- as I needed a default feed URL I used the feed of WP TIPS, one of my own websites- the default number of RSS items is 3 – yellow background color of the widget (#FFFF99)The plugin comes localized for use on sites other than the English language and/or on bi/multilingual websites. In the languages folder you will find the .po and .mo files. Feel free to send me translations in other languages, I will then add them to this folder and of course I will credit you here.Current translations:- Dutch (by myself)

37 SO Responsive Content http://wordpress.org/plugins/so-visibility-classes/ With the SO Responsive Content plugin you can easily adjust the length of your content for different devices by making use of visibility classes.For sites that have been built Responsive, this plugin will enable you to adjust your content too.

Once you have selected a visibility class, the plugin shows that in 3 locations:

  1. as selected in the drop down menu
  2. with a “button” in front of the selector (the only function of this “button” is to show you that the element behind it has one of the visibility classes)
  3. in the path

There are 15 visibility classes in the Styles menu on the Visual Editor:

  • 6 for paragraphs (3 to show and 3 to hide)
  • 3 for links (only to show as hiding can be done with the inline classes below)

  • Do you want to add support for HTML5 placeholders to Gravity Forms? There’s a perk for that!
  • Do you want to limit how many times a choice may be selected for a Radio Button or Drop Down field? Yeah, you get the idea.
40 Limit Login http://wordpress.org/plugins/limit-login-attempts/ Limit the number of login attempts possible both through normal login as well as using auth cookies.By default WordPress allows unlimited login attempts either through the login page or by sending special cookies. This allows passwords (or hashes) to be brute-force cracked with relative ease.Limit Login Attempts blocks an Internet address from making further attempts after a specified limit on retries is reached, making a brute-force attack difficult or impossible.Features

  • Limit the number of retry attempts when logging in (for each IP). Fully customizable
  • Limit the number of attempts to log in using auth cookies in same way
  • Informs user about remaining retries or lockout time on login page
  • Optional logging, optional email notification
  • Handles server behind reverse proxy
  • It is possible to whitelist IPs using a filter. But you probably shouldn’t. 🙂

41 Widget Logic http://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic/ This plugin gives every widget an extra control field called “Widget logic” that lets you control the pages that the widget will appear on.

Anyone who has access to edit widget appearance will have the right to add any code, including malicious and possibly destructive functions. There is an optional filter ‘widget_logic_eval_override’ which you can use to bypass the EVAL with your own code if needed.

45 Advanced Custom Fields Repeater http://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-field-repeater-collapser/ This plugin requires both the Advanced Custom Fields plugin (version 4.0+ only) ANDone or both of the Repeater Field or Flexible Content Field paid add-ons.Both add-ons make “ACF” much more powerful, but if you have more than few fields in either, it becomes unwieldy to sort. This plugin collapses each instance of the repeated fields—only for the “Row” layout with the Repeater Field—to allow for easy sorting.To help identify each repeater field group when collapsed, the first field of each repeated field group is shown. See the screenshots for an example.Contribute to this plugin on GitHub.This plugin began as a support forum thread on the ACF site.
46 Revision Control http://wordpress.org/plugins/revision-control/ Revision Control is a plugin for WordPress which gives the user more control over the Revision functionality.The plugin allows the user to set a site-global setting (Settings -> Revisions) for pages/posts to enable/disable/limit the number of revisions which are saved for the page/post. The user may change this setting on a per-page/post basis from the Revisions Meta box.The plugin also allows the deletion of specific revisions via the Revisions post metabox.
47 Root Relative URLs http://wordpress.org/plugins/root-relative-urls/ A WordPress plugin that converts all URL formats to root-relative URLs to enable seamless transitioning between staging/production host environments and debugging/testing from mobile devices, without the use of hackish tactics like textual find-replace strategies or risky hosts/NAT spoofing strategies.With Root Relative URLs you can browse your development site from http://localhost/ orhttp://127.0.0.1/ or from a named network resource like http://mycomputername/ without worrying about links redirecting you back to your site’s URL.This plugin also modifies the tinyMCE hooks so links and media embedded with built-in tools will only insert URLs from the first forward slash after the domain (i.e. the root of your site.) This means when you push content changes to a staging or production environment they are guaranteed to reference the correct target instead of accidentally referencing a production resource in development or, worse-yet, a development-exclusive resource in production.It supports path-based MU Installations, but does not support domain-based MU sites due to architectural deficiencies in the WordPress core.Version 1.5 fixes an infinite redirect problem that is a result of a core bug in WordPress. If you have problems with the <!–more–> tag or permalinks for custom post types, please read the FAQ or new Install Steps for support.Version 2.2 allows for adding certain URL’s or partial URL’s to a blacklist, meaning I won’t use root relative urls, but dynamic absolute URLs instead for displaying content. This will fix problems with 3rd party plugins, and can be configured on the General Settings page.
48 Google Tag Manager http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-google-tag-manager/ Your wordpress website includes third party scripts and tools like website traffic analytics, ad banners counter by feedburner or some top lists. Google Tag Manager provides a comprehensive user interface to manage all these scripts (tags) and include them with a single plugin into your wordpress powered website.This plugin includes both the javascript code to bring those tags into your site and the fall back iframe code to still provide functionality if javascript is disabled. Installation requires just two simple steps

  1. Install the plugin.
  2. Input the container ID in preferences

Instead of copy and pasting lots of script tags into you wordpress theme files or managing a couple of plugins for diverse services you can now serve this all from a single source – the Tag Manager. Tags are comfortably managed in the Google user interface, no need to further touch you wordpress installation.

Registration for Tag Manager (https://www.google.com/tagmanager/) is two simple steps before you receive the Container ID which is the only information the plugin requires to work properly. From now on, you have a couple of advantages:

  • a comprehensive overview of all tags you are using
  • tags can be deactivated in the Tag Manager
  • you can preview changes on your site before putting them live for your visitors
  • provide access to tags management for marketing staff – no code changes needed
  • use all the rules and macros to fine grained adjust tag usage

Besides management of tags you’ll notice better loading times of your website due to asynchonous loading of scripts.
