What WordPress Plugins do you use?
What are your favourite plugins? Here’s a little survey/question for WordPress users out there and the answers are usually pointing at a plugin of one kind or another – so I thought I’d let you know what I’m using – but only on the condition that you show me yours. I found this post very interesting that i had to copy it. The original is on Problogger
Here are my active plugins:
Spam Karma 2 – Reloaded – picks up 99% of comment spam
Page Navigation 1.5 – puts the page numbers at the bottom of the main and category pages to help with navigation (more…)
WP Subscribe To Comments
This plugin will allow your readers to get email notifications when comments are left on a post after their own. The install is very simple and does not modifyany WP core code. As well, it’s future-proofed to work, as is, with the next version of WordPress without your needing to upgrade the plugin. Download the Plugin from Here
Current Version: 1.5
Last Updated: 3/10/04 9:53 PM EST
Here’s the instructions (also included in a text file in the download):
1) Upload subscribe-to-comments.php to your wordpress plugins directory (this is in wp-content/plugins/ )
2) Upload wp-subscription-manager.php to the top level of your wordpress install directory (same directory wp-config.php is)
3)Add the following inside your comments form (between your <form> </form> tags) (in wp-comments.php and in wp-comments-popup.php):
3a)OPTIONAL
If you’d like to display on your comments if a particular commenter is subscribed to comments or not – you can use this function: comment_subscription_status() like this (customize for your own use)
<?php comment_text() ?>
<p><?php comment_type(); ?> <?php _e(”by”); ?> <?php comment_author_link() ?>
<?php if (comment_subscription_status()) { echo “(subscribed to comments)”; } ?>
4)There is a plugin hook missing in WordPress 1.2 (but it will be there in 1.3 – so you won’t need to worry about making this change again when you upgrade. – But in order for this script to work in this version, you’ll need to add this change manually. In functions.php (in wp-includes folder) add the following line between lines 919 and 920: do_action(’wp_set_comment_status’, $comment_id) so the surrounding code will look like this:
if ($wpdb->query($query)) {
do_action(’wp_set_comment_status’, $comment_id); //THIS IS THE LINE YOU NEED TO ADD!
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
5)Activate the subscribe-to-comments plugin through the WordPress plugin admin page
You’re done.
