WordPress Plugins

All plugins are freely available via the WordPress.org repository or by direct download. You can search and install them or upload them directly from your blog’s “Plugins” administration panel.

Assistant

This plugin is an AI assistant able to use the new WP abilities. Connect with an AI provider (OpenAI, Gemini, Mistral, Claude, …) and try to chat with your site.

Go to the Assistant plugin official page.

Monitor

This is a plugin to monitor the WP activities, like sent emails, HTTP connections, scheduled jobs execution and more. It’s a really technical plugin, but the overview can easily be read by non-tech people.

Go to the Monitor plugin official page.

Head and Footer and Post Injections

Simple and flexible, Head and Footer plugin lets you add any kind of script to the HTML head or footer. You can add content and/or scripts before and after posts and configure some of the Facebook Open Graph metatags to have a better rendering of likes on Facebook walls. A must-have and can easily replace a lot of service-specific plugins.

Go to the Head and Footer plugin official page.

Include Me

The Include Me plugin lets you include external content inside a page or post. External content? Yes, for example, an external PHP file is loaded and executed, and the result is injected into the page. Alternatively, Include Me can generate an IFRAME. I found it very useful to make pages that include a complex script of external services, like chat areas.

Go to the Include Me plugin official page.

Newsletter

A complete mail marketing system for your blog. This plugin is now maintained in collaboration with some friends. The core functionalities (many!) are part of the free plugin, but advanced users can get specific commercial add-ons.

Go to the Newsletter plugin’s official site.

Thumbnails

Helps to have perfect thumbnails with each theme. This plugin generates thumbnails on the fly when a theme or plugin asks for a specific image size and crop. The generated resized picture is stored in a cache without clogging up the media folder.

Go to the Thumbnails plugin’s official page.

Hyper Cache

Hyper Cache is the first caching plugin I wrote for WordPress (not the last) and as far as I know, is widely used with success from many blogs. I know there are other more advanced cache plugins but some users reported me that Hyper Cache is working better for them… so I’m keeping it live but without adding complexity: most blogs do not need complexity, only a bit more performances.

Go to Hyper Cache official page.

SimpleSMTP

The smallest SMTP plugin to connect your WordPress to an SMTP server and get reliable email delivery. It contains just what is needed, derived from my article “SMTP for WP in 10 lines of code“.

Go to the SimpleSMTP official page.

MultiSMTP

A small SMTP plugin supporting more than one SMTP configuration to easily switch between them.

Go to the MultiSMTP official page.

Comment Notifier

Adds notifications to WordPress comments.

Go to Comment Notifier official page.

Comment Image

Add image support to WordPress comments.

Go to Comment Image official page.

Post Layout

Post Layout (the pro version is now merged with the free version) gives you control on code injection in the post content. It is perfect to inject ads, social buttons, noticies and so on.

It has a per category configuration to inject different code in different categories. Can be enabled to let authoer having thait own injection configuration. Note that most of the Post Layout features can be obtained with Header and Footer.

See the Post Layout official page

Unsupported plugins

Many plugins I wrote in the past are no more useful and have been removed from the WordPress.org repository (by my request). If you are still using them, consider finding an alternative.
