Okay I lied, it’s not plugins galore only five of them. But still, they’re pretty awesome. If there’s one thing that can help make using a WordPress blog easier, its plugins. I can say for certain all of the ones I’ve listed below have helped me in one way or another. Some of these plugins require more work than others, but it’s only to give you complete control over what you want them to do. More than enjoying the read, I hope you find them as useful as I have.
Widget Context
I found this plugin while searching for a solution to my company blog issue. We wanted to have categories and archives only show up on certain pages. So I asked for some help in the WordPress forums and it didn’t take long for someone to recommend this little gem. This give you complete control over your widgets and which pages you want them to show up on. If you have a lot of widgets you want to sort be warned, you have to set the page setting on each widget you have and add. So if you were thinking about using WordPress for a company website but didn’t want the widgets to show up, but wanted to use them in some areas, this plugins for you.
