The most necessary and important WordPress plugins. Types of WordPress plugins
Hi all!
Compiling lists of the most needed plugins has become a tradition among bloggers writing about WordPress. I also decided to support this tradition and prepared my list of plugins.
I have noticed that often these lists include plugins that are not required for everyone. I decided to do the following: I divided the list of plugins into two parts: required for installation and recommended for installation.
It is worth noting that most of the plugins listed below have analogues. So it is not necessary to install the plugin from the list, but you can use an alternative option.
Plugins required for installation
Security plugins
The first thing to do is to ensure the security of the site. This is done by installing the following four plugins.
1. Login LockDown. With this plugin, you can set limits on the number of login attempts in the admin panel. This plugin is one of the first by necessity. It allows you to effectively protect the site from hacking by guessing passwords. Analogues: Limit login attempts and others.
2. Acunetix WP Security. It will help to make the site completely protected and safe. Scans the site for threats and weaknesses and offers security measures. Thanks to this plugin, you can identify and patch security holes.
3. Antispam Bee. Plugin to protect against spam in comments. The essence of the protection of the Antispam Bee plugin is that special invisible fields are created for bots, which are filled in by bots, but the information from these fields does not pass into the comment forms. Analogues: Invisible Captcha, NoSpamNX, Akismet and others.
There are a lot of similar plugins and it is impossible to say which one is better for sure. My choice is Antispam Bee. Its pros: simplicity, efficiency and on the site.
4. Updraft Plus - Backup / Restore. Created for Reserve copy databases and files. It has both a paid and a free version, but the free version is enough for backup. Analogues: BackWPup, Online Backup for WordPress and others.
Here, as in the case of anti-spam plugins, the choice is quite large. I chose UpdraftPlus as it backs up not only the database, but also the files, and also makes a copy to the cloud. I plan to talk about this plugin in a separate article.
SEO plugins
Second in importance after security is SEO optimization. In this group, I included six plugins that in one way or another affect the promotion of the site. Below is a brief description of them.
5. Cyr to Lat enhanced. Provides automatic translation Russian record names, tags, etc. into Latin. Analogues: RusToLat and others.
6. All In One SEO Pack. Powerful plugin for SEO-optimization, about which you can talk a lot. It has a lot of features, for example, you can use it to create a sitemap.
7. WP No External Links. Allows you to mask external links and make them internal or hide them using redirects or special tags and attributes. I showed how to configure this plugin in an article about . Analogues: External Links and others.
8. Make Clickable WordPress. Makes links, email addresses, images clickable. Complements plugins for hiding external links.
9. Brocken Link Checker. To search the site broken links. The presence of broken links has a bad effect on the ranking of the site, so this plugin is required to be installed.
Plugins for acceleration and optimization
And the third required group contains two plugins for acceleration and optimization
11. Optimize Database after Deleting Revisions. Optimizes the database by removing junk files and reducing the base.
12. WP Super Cache. Creates a cache of site pages. An invaluable plugin for high site traffic. Analogues: Hyper Cache and others.
So for normal functioning site you need to install 12 plugins.
1. Contact Form 7. Creates a contact form for feedback. Having a contact form on the site is optional, but if you want to be easily contacted, I highly recommend installing this plugin.
2. Contact Form 7 Honeypot. Does not allow spam via the contact form. Used in conjunction with Contact Form 7. If Contact Form 7 is installed, then this plugin is required to be installed.
3. Dagon Design Sitemap Generator. HTML sitemap generator. Also not a required plugin. But the presence of an HTML sitemap makes it convenient to navigate through the articles and gives an additional advantage when optimizing the site for SEO. Therefore, I recommend installing this plugin.
4. Yandex.Metrika. Allows you to see site statistics: traffic, etc. This plugin will be most relevant if your site has more or less high traffic.
5. VP Typograph Light. The plugin automatically formats text according to typography rules. By installing this plugin, you can be sure that quotes, dashes, ellipsis, special characters, etc. will be displayed correctly.
6. Russify Comments Number. Normal display of the end of the word "comment" - that is, "2 comments", "5 comments" and so on.
7. Simple sort pages (Simple Page Ordering). Allows you to set the order of the pages in the menu by dragging and dropping.
8.WP Smush Automatically optimizes pictures when adding them to the blog. If you are not optimizing images for the web in any way (using Photohop, for example), then this plugin is required.
9. Auto high slide. With this plugin, when you click on an image in an article, it will increase. There are many similar plugins, but this one is my favorite.
There are many more interesting and useful plugins, but I have listed only the most necessary ones. Everything else depends on your specific tasks and requirements.
For example, if your blog is commented a lot, then you should take care of the convenience of visitors and install a more convenient widget and comment editor instead of the standard one, add emoticons, the ability to subscribe to comments, etc.
Or, if the theme does not provide built-in pagination and/or breadcrumbs, then you should install the appropriate plugins.
True, another problem arises here: a large number of installed plugins negatively affects page loading speed. But this is a topic for a separate discussion.
On this I apologize. See you soon!

Best plugins for WordPress
16) Dave's WordPress Live Search (plugin overview) - advanced site search function. This plugin is an addition to the standard WordPress search form. The main feature of the plugin is that when you enter at least one letter into the search form, the plugin automatically starts showing suitable and most accurate search results under the search form, which allows you to go directly to the page you are looking for without clicking on the search button itself. Very handy plugin, greatly simplifies the search necessary information on the site.

The presence of the comments widget from VK will increase site traffic from the social. networks and improve feedback with the user. According to statistics, the number of comments on the site increases with the installation of this block. Due to what is all this? Firstly, the VK comments widget itself displays the user's avatar on our website, which prompts him to leave a comment, because you do not need to log in and specify an e-mail, just write a comment and click send. It is very convenient for the visitor of our site. Secondly, after leaving a comment, it will be displayed on the user's page in Vkontakte, which will increase traffic to our site.

Also, I recommend an analog, plugin Auto Syntax Highlighter , not as functional, but does not require settings and also highlights the code with high quality. I recommend installing two plugins and in the process of work it will be determined which one is more convenient for you.
27) BB Spoiler(plugin review) - the best plugin for creating and adding spoilers to the site.

Liked? Your +1
Want to receive new interesting articles from this site
Welcome to the article "Top 15 Necessary and Useful Plugins". This top will contain the main plugins (without which it will be difficult for your server). For example, this will include plugins for registration, privileges, menus and much more. To go to official page plugin, follow the link (for the kernel you need), which will be at the end of the plugin description. Well, I won’t drag it out too much, so let’s move on to the first plugin.
1. Auth Me
Well, the first plugin is Auth Me. This is an authorization plugin. It is needed so that if you have a pirate server (an unofficial launcher or Minecraft without a license), players cannot play under other people's nicknames. For example, I go to the server under the nickname nagibator register password 252H357Ja* and after successful registration, I play for myself, develop, then when I leave the server, I don’t have to worry that someone else will play under my nickname, because if he enters the server under my nickname, he will need to enter a password.
2. Permissions Ex
The second plugin is PermissionsEx. This plugin just needs to be on your server. It divides the players into groups and each group has certain rights. For example group Player has access to the team /home, /spawn, /call well, and many others, but does not have access to /gm1, /kill, /ban, while from group Admin already has access to /gm1, /kill, /ban Well, at the same time, access to all player commands is not lost. I think you already understood. Also this plugin is fully customizable, so you decide which group can and add the groups you need.
Spigot-Bukkit plugin works on Spigot so if you have Spigot, then don't worry, install the plugin with Bukkit
3. WorldGuard, WorldEdit
The third plugin is two plugins that I combined (WorldGuard, WorldEdit). These are two plugins for regions. WorldGuard is a plugin more for the regions of players (for example, private at home) so that a foreign player cannot break your house, and the second is for admins, for example, select an area and set ( /set0). Also, with the help of these plugins, you can set flags (for example, turn off pvp in the region). I highly recommend these plugins, as they are installed on almost all servers.
Spigot- work with Bukkit plugins
4 Essentials
The fourth plugin is Essentials . This plugin is great for joint work With PermissionsEx. Since it adds all the basic commands to the server, and PermissionsEx assigns rights to them. For example this plugin adds commands: /call /tpaccept /home /warp /day,night /fly and a LOT of other teams. It also makes it a little easier for players to write commands, for example, instead of /gamemode 1 can be written /gm 1 and a few other minor simplifications. I believe that without this plugin (especially if your server is for survival), the server simply will not be able to work properly. I highly recommend putting it on!
Spigot- work with Bukkit plugin
5.ChestCommands
Fifth plugin - ChestCommands . This is a menu plugin. For example Menu, Donate menu, Buns . You can also create your own menus and customize them. This plugin has a very useful feature, you can do many useful things using this plugin. For example, to make a store: we put a diamond block, set a price for it and display an inscription in the chat when buying. All well and like this you do further and the store is ready. This way you can do almost anything. Of course, I have been setting up Minecraft servers for 2 years now and you, as a beginner, may not be able to immediately make your own useful menus, for example, a salary menu (I will try to release a video or write an article on detailed setting this plugin, since I didn’t see on YouTube where they normally talk about all the functions of this plugin). But don't worry Menu or Donate Menu, I think it will be easy for you to do if you watch a few tutorials. I think this is a pretty good plugin for those who want to make their server user-friendly and enjoyable for players.
Spigot- work with Bukkit plugin
6. RandomTP
The sixth plugin is RandomTp . This plugin does not have many functions, but it is needed in order for players to find free territories. For example, you have a lot of buildings on the server near the spawn and there is no place for the player to build his house, but if the player writes a command /randomtp, then he will be teleported to a random place, where most likely there will be no houses. The plugin has a few more features, such as setting a price for teleportation or prohibiting teleportation to certain blocks, and a few more.
Bukkit plugin and Spigot slightly different (for me, the Spigot version of this plugin is better)
7.NoCheat Plus
The seventh plugin is NoCheat Plus . It's pretty simple, but very useful. It will protect your server from cheaters. For example, if you do not want players on your server to fly (without the right to do so), walk on water, climb walls like a spiderman, then this plugin is for you! It will block all this, well, unless of course you have the right to do so, for example, the admin can easily fly. I personally checked, I went with the WURST client (who did not understand this is a very common cheat) and before they let me into the server, but flying, climbing walls, etc. I could not, and after updating the plugin, cheaters are not even allowed on the server! So this plugin will protect your server well.
Functionality is better Spigot plugin than Bukkit
8.UralChat
The eighth plugin is UralChat . This plugin is for chat control. With Pomerania it can be forbidden to write certain commands and also just words digits or a set of digits. For example, prohibit meter words and also words like ( ip, 142412 well, etc.), but from commands /stop, //calc etc. so that others cannot promote their server or crash your server. This is very desired plugin if you want to keep order in the chat and on the server.
This is not an official plugin (written by amateurs), it is not available on Bukkit, nor on Spigot, but it fits any of these nuclei. Also, there is no official information on which versions of the server it works on, it works well for me personally on 1.8. It must be searched for on amateur sites or on a Russian forum Bukkit to save your time, here is a direct download link.

9.ChatManager
The ninth plugin is called chat manager . This plugin is also for chat, but unlike the eighth one, this plugin makes the chat more beautiful and clearer and does not prohibit or allow something. For example, it adds the letter L (for example, local chat, players see 100 blocks from you) or G (global, see all players), the name of the privilege (the group in which the player is a member) and the nickname itself. You can customize what will be written before the nickname, I just wrote an example. If anything, the preview of this plugin shows two excerpts from the chat.
Functionality is better Spigot plugin than Bukkit
10 Colored Tags
The tenth plugin is Color Tags . This plugin is very limited in functionality, but very useful. At first glance, it just adds a prefix in front of the nickname above the player. For example, so that when meeting a stasis it is clear that this is an Admin or a Player, etc.
Spigot- Such Spigot no plugin but Bukkit the plugin will work on Spigot. Or you can search for prototypes at Spigot.
11.ClearLagg
Eleventh plugin - ClearLagg . It helps your server not to lag and frees up its memory. Well, in other words, it can delete objects lying on the floor after a certain period of time (configured by you) and also (also how you configure it) can, for example, delete trolleys (without a player in it) and other similar things. A good plugin if you want to help your server run nice and smooth.

12.AutoMessage
The twelfth plugin is AutoMessage . It outputs messages you have written at intervals you have configured. For example, you can configure it so that it writes some useful commands for your server to the chat every 3 minutes. There are several other similar settings in this plugin. It will suit you if you want to make the game on your server simple, understandable and interesting.

15. Custom Join Items
The fifteenth plugin, the last one on the list, is Custom Join Items . It is simply indispensable for those who have mini-game servers or survival. Since it gives the player items (which you set up) after death or when entering the server. You can put commands on items and customize them (for example, prohibit throwing an item). For example, you can issue three items: Menu, Donut, Buns. Pretty good plugin for the convenience of players.
AT Spigot The plugin interface is slightly different, but the essence is the same. I personally have more Bukkit like.
Bun
I decided to tell you a bit off topic and chat with you, as well as tell you more about one plugin. Let's start with communication. The fact is that if you read the article, then most likely you want to create your own server. But the fact is that in YouTube or Google there is no normal article (for beginners in this matter) how to create your own server, sorry for the expression "through the ass" on a computer or somewhere else where the server will not work around the clock, the player will withstand a lot etc. I can share my experience with you and tell you clearly for a beginner how to create your own real server Minecraft, test server will work quietly 24/7, withstand the load of players and it will be possible to install more than 100+ plugins. Of course, you will have to pay, but if you want to get something, you will have to give something, so be prepared that everything will not be free. I will tell you from personal experience what you will encounter, where to start, how to understand exactly what you need, how to work with ftp, mysql So what's this. If you want this, then write to
