Top 50 Plugins
During the week of December 1st to December 5th, I had the opportunity to take a Developers Course offered via iThemes, the course go over many things within WordPress. One Session was dedicated to what the instructor considers the “Top 50 Plugins of 2014”. The list he provided is located here.
The list includes links to each of the plugins for everyone to do their own research and testing, some are paid plugin and the list is in no particular order, although I will say he LOVES the PODS Plugin and I am starting to see why as i learn it myself. PODS is a plugin to help build/maintain Custom Post Types, and allows an easy way to build your pages via available plugins (Frontier comes bundled with Pods) and Pods is 100% FREE!!!!
Here are some videos on Pods via a recent PodsCamp (Similar to a WordCamp).
I am sure this list can be debated and discussed on what everyone likes dislikes about paid and free plugins, but either way Plugins do make our development of WordPress sites very helpful and if you are using a free plugin and love it, please donate to help the development of the plugin going!
