Seven Slick Wordpress Plugins You Shouldn’t Be Without

August 11th, 2008 | Posted in General Stuff, Web Design.

Since upgrading my Wordpress version to 2.6, I’ve been testing out some great plugins and have found a few that you just have to have on any website.

They are ones that provide SEO benefits, redirections, link building, statistics, pagination and more…

All in One SEO

This plugin provides many SEO features needed for your site. Edit title tags, meta description and keyword tags and even nofollow your archive and category pages to avoid duplicate content.

CForms II

Now you can simply add a form to any page or post. This handy plugin allows you to customize each field. No coding required to add forms…

Feed Subscriber Stats

Ever want to know how many FeedBurner subscribers you have? This handy plugin will display your current subscriber stats on your Wordpress dashboard.

This plugin will automatically create links for the keywords you specify. For example, if you have a page about dogs, you can set the keyword “dogs” to link to your dogs page. It is very handy indeed.

Redirection

301 redirects are very important on dynamic websites. This plugin allows you to create any type of redirect easily. It also provides a 404 error log so you can redirect errors to relevant pages or posts.

Wordpress Automatic Upgrade

Automatically upgrade your Wordpress version with this nice plugin.

WP-PageNavi

This plugin will replace your “Next” and “Previous” links with links to page numbers. It makes it very user friendly.

Do you have any plugins that you cannot live without?

Thanks! I use two of them (All-in-One SEO and Redirection), going to try the Auto Update and Page-Navi ones now.

Can’t say that I have any that I would miss terribly except for StatPress.
