WordPress Plugins That Make Life Simpler

While WordPress is easy, we all like things that make life even simpler. There are plugins you can add to your WordPress blog to make your blog work simpler even if they do not make your life easier. For that you might want to hire a virtual assistant or use these plugins to add more time to your day with less blog work.

After the Deadline

You may wish you could have an editor read over your blog posts. With this handy plugin you can have the next best thing. Your regular spell checker may not catch when you use two instead of to, but this will. This WordPress plugin will also check your posts for grammatical errors and more. You have your own personal editor without the expense.

Broken Link Checker

Unfortunately links break. A change in a permalink, sites change names, sites go away, and other such things can break links on your WordPress website. This blog plugin will find all those links and give you a report. You can edit the links or remove the links directly from the report keeping your WordPress blog clean.

Clean Options

Each time you add plugins and themes you are adding lines to your wp_option file. When you remove these plugins and themes those extra lines of code may not go away. Clean options cleans that option file and helps your WordPress website run better.

Evermore

Rather than show long posts on your main page this will show the first paragraph. Your readers can see several of your posts and choose ones they want to read by clicking the more link Evermore adds.

Robots Meta

Meta Robots tags allow you to control which pages search engines follow. It also controls which links the search engines follow. Previously people had to hack into WordPress or into the.htaccess files. With this you can control it all from your WordPress dashboard.

SEO Smart Links

Writing all those posts you may have references back to older posts. With this WordPress blog plugin you can set up certain keywords to link back to old posts or other websites. If you have multiple references to an important post this will really help.

Theme Tester

Your old theme is no longer fitting your needs. You think you may have found some replacements, but really do not want your visitors seeing you change theme to theme and test it. This is where this WordPress blog plugin comes in handy. Test themes while your visitors do not see changes until you are ready.
