WordPress Plugins
Besides themes, plugins are another way to customize your WordPress website with advanced functionality and interactivity. As with themes, there are plugins for just about everything you can possibly imagine. But also like themes, it can be difficult to sift through the fluff, and find those gems that truly improve your website.
When you do find a WordPress plugin that’s great, you just have to share it with others in the community. So put on your plugin-checking goggles, because it’s about to get interesting!
The Sweet Plugin: User Switching
Today’s Sweet Plugin is User Switching, which has quickly become one of my all-time favorite plugins. It allows admins to easily switch to another user, skipping the log-in / log-out process, which can become quite time-consuming for testing the websites of different users. This is one plugin that is seriously worth checking out.

Every website needs forms – it’s an integral part of visitor/customer communication. However, custom forms can be a downright pain to code.
Bookings WordPress plugin

Bcrypt WordPress Plugin: Store A Password Safely
bcrypt uses a variant of the Blowfish encryption algorithm’s keying schedule, and introduces a work factor, which allows you to determine how expensive the hash function will be. Because of this, bcrypt can keep up with Moore’s law. As computers get faster, you can increase the work factor and the hash will get slower.
Pricing Table WordPress Plugin
WordPress Pricing Table plugin will help the admin to publish a pricing table on your WordPress page, or even to post content to it. WordPress Pricing Table plugin has a full-featured (but easy to use) administration option to create a pricing table.

More Fields WordPress Plugins

Usernoise Modal Feedback: A WordPress Contact Form

March 23rd, 2012 5:58 amI don’t want to be harsh, but I really have to. Using images (in this SM-post as a preview of the theme) that are used in the original demo is a big fail. Totally irrelevant, like writing about trees and using images of elephants to illustrate the leaves of a tree.
Susan
March 23rd, 2012 9:09 amAgreed. Was thinking exactly the same thing. Also it would be helpful to always have a direct link to the demo. Otherwise, useful and interesting article!
alexfriesen
March 23rd, 2012 11:26 amso true!!! really disapointing experience…
Brad
March 23rd, 2012 5:13 pmI have to agree. When it’s a list of great themes, I just want to see if the theme may fit my needs. But after complaining, this is a really great list of themes and plugins, some I’ve seen and a bunch I hadn’t, so a big thank you!
Arekay
March 23rd, 2012 6:14 amVery helpful throughout for me. Just getting in to WordPress, but this page has given me a lot of resources to work from. THX!
Oli Salisbury
March 23rd, 2012 6:18 amdon’t forget Advanced Custom Fields plugin by Elliot Condon!
Rob Jones
March 23rd, 2012 7:24 amA must!
AP
March 23rd, 2012 1:24 pmI wouldn’t even use WP if it wasn’t for this plugin. It IS a must !
Rodolphe
March 23rd, 2012 10:02 pmI agree with Oli.
Advanced Custom Fields should be on the top of this list.
Matt Pealing
May 10th, 2012 1:24 amDitto, I can’t believe ACF functionally isn’t included by default with WordPress as it is with other CMS’!
Jesse
March 23rd, 2012 6:44 amSimply awesome! Thank you.
Robin Bloomfield
March 23rd, 2012 6:44 amHow about the _s theme for starting a theme from scratch?
I’m skeptical of using the Word Press Mobile Pack. I’m wary of using a plugin that has not been updated since 2010.
Surely a better approach would be to use media queries for a simple mobile solution?
I’d also suggest WP Super Cache as a useful tool for speeding up sites.
Pedro Costa Neves
March 23rd, 2012 6:49 amDon’t forget WPInstaller.me

March 23rd, 2012 6:57 amWhat a nice friday ! This article is to be shared…
Rob Jones
March 23rd, 2012 7:25 amReally liking Jigoshop as an e-commerce plugin.
Julian Gaviria
March 23rd, 2012 8:47 amIsn’t the html5 boilerplate a bit outdated? It seems like the last time the template was updated was two years ago. There have been several new releases since. Or am I missing something?
Johan Benjaminsson
March 28th, 2012 3:41 amYeah, seems not being developed anymore :(. Someone forked it and updated it to H5BP 3.0 here. Haven’t tried it out yet though.
Richard
March 23rd, 2012 9:24 amI don’t understand the link to CodeHale’s article on BCrypt. There is no WordPress plugin on that page, and in fact WordPress uses PHPPass which already uses BCrypt if it’s available.
Ovidiu
March 31st, 2012 2:22 amI was wondering about the same issue, anyone can clarify this question?
Joseph Mainwaring
March 23rd, 2012 9:49 amWOW! I’ll certainly be revisiting this post for quite some time!

NickM
March 23rd, 2012 4:12 pmVery useful post!
Does anyone know of any free themes that do some kind of employee/project/time tracker? Basically we have employees in our office that email the boss daily reports of what they did. I was wondering if there was a better way to do this. Thanks!
Dan Farrow
March 23rd, 2012 9:02 pmMore Fields is a great plugin but don’t expect any support. The developers launched a new site for their plugins a couple of years ago which got me excited (oh those heady days…) but since then they seem to have moved on to other things.
Colin
March 23rd, 2012 10:45 pmYou forgot one of the most downloaded, feature rich fully configurable themes in your list and that is Suffusion. I am nothing to do with the development just a very happy user of it.

March 24th, 2012 1:42 pmNice posts, Like the front end uploader!
More fields should really be replaced by Advanced custom fields (ACF), look it up, it’s way more powerfull then More fields!

Zeshan
March 26th, 2012 12:38 amHow come no backup solutions are listed in the list ???
Dalton
March 26th, 2012 5:09 amThis is a bunch of copy & paste from other sites. Instead of screenshots you’ve included random photos from other pages. There may be some useful information in this post, but it is very low quality by Smashing standards.
Shakespear
March 26th, 2012 7:33 amAgreed.
When i was green in jugement and was looking for dumb lists I usually went on other sites than Smashing Magazine.

March 26th, 2012 5:14 amGreat list. Any recommendations on good back-up plug-ins? Thanks again.

March 26th, 2012 11:42 pmA small correction to the Roots WordPress Theme: It no longer uses “your favorite css frameworks” in the latest releases. Now it only comes with support for Bootstrap from Twitter.

Nidhi
March 28th, 2012 8:04 amHey thanks for nice list… I need some code or plugin which can crop custom featured image… which will give full resolution on click event.. just featured image will be cropped.
Thanks in Advance!!!!
Joe Snell
March 28th, 2012 10:35 amGreat comprensive list of resources. We all have our favorites, but this is the most well rounded and relevant list I’ve seen in a while. The only think I might add is a few more of the free themes/frameworks like _s, Bones, WPBS, Skeleton and Roots.
Definitely bookmark worthy!
Shaul
March 28th, 2012 7:23 pmAnother huge advocate for Advanced Custom Fields! Use it almost on a daily basis and every new build that contains customization at my job. Also love WP Help for when I make a bunch of those customizations and forget how they work. It is nice to create a bit of a personal reference for clients as well as myself. Love the site guys and it is one of my top 5 go to’s for all the information that I need in design, web, UX, UI, etc. Thanks!
Julien Desrosiers
March 29th, 2012 1:21 pmAwesome list.

April 7th, 2012 6:37 pmI’m surprised Blogic is as under the radar as it is. It’s a phenomenal service. Blogic creates a WordPress theme that matches your website perfectly, in seconds, and it’s free.
I am in no way affiliated with Blogic, but I have several blogs there and I think the service is terrific
So Smashing… give it some love one of these days.

Masani
May 25th, 2012 12:24 pmI liked the old one the best too. I designed that one, or at least moeidifd it to suit my needs. I spent a lot of time finding it and adjusting it. I don’t believe I can get it back now. As for this theme it is pre-made. We’ll see I guess. The writing/reading area needs to be wider if you ask me. I don’t know if I can fix that or not. Thanks for your vote, it helps.
Rob Fenech
June 3rd, 2012 12:26 amMore fields is great, but I think that Advanced Custom Fields by Elliot Condon kicks it’s ass! :)
ACFs allows a lot more control over where each field is placed within each post or page – allowing you to limit the meta box to a single page if you need too. It is fantastic.
Lore
July 1st, 2012 2:57 amI came across this site, Theme Hybrid.
It’s a development framework for building custom themes.

Alan Sills
July 9th, 2012 3:57 pmVery informative page! I gained alot from it. I am probably going to be building a wp site soon where users will need to be able to add data (eg: name/address/email/notes type fields) to create kind of a “community grown” database that is also easily searchable.
I envision the end user being able to go to this membership site and after logging in, they can complete a form to add data (if they have any to add), and/or they can search the database looking for specific information like a name, phone number, address, etc.
What plugins or themes should I be using to most easily accomplish this task?
