More Fun with the WP Admin Bar : The Admin Bar Hopper Plugin

One quick plugin (that I just created) (download the plugin here) to add a "Hop To..." dropdown to your new WP Admin Bar, which gets filled with a list of all your site's Pages, Menus, and (Post) Categories. So wherever you are, you can jump to any Page / Category of your site, with 1 quick click. Pretty slick? Update: the Admin Bar Hopper plugin is now hosted in WordPress's Plugin Repository!

Quick Shoutout : Duplicate Post Plugin

Russell and I were talking strategy and usability this morning, and we realized one of the few things WordPress was missing was a "Clone Page" / "Save Page As..." function. Now I am writing this post because I am excited that I don't have to make that plugin myself, as it already exists! And duplicating a Duplicate Posts Plugin ourselves would just be silly. Adding "Duplicate" as a quick link on the main Edit Posts / Edit Pages areas, and…

Alex’s Recommended Plugins – Plugin

In developing with WordPress for a few years now, I have found that there is a shortlist of plugins that I find useful on almost every site I work on. These plugins cover the range from things every good site should have - help with SEO, contact forms, analytics, automatically generated XML sitemaps, database backups - to other aspects that might also be desired - image galleries, A/B testing, eCommerce... and now, you (and I) can have this list available…
