Define DISABLE_COMMENTS_REMOVE_COMMENTS_TEMPLATE and set it to false to prevent the plugin from replacing the theme’s comment template with an empty one.

These definitions can be made either in your main wp-config.php or in your theme’s functions.php file.

And whether you spell it ‘optimise’ or ‘optimize’, Smush will compress images without a visible drop in quality.

Image optimization is the easiest way to make your site load super fast!

Award Winning Image Optimizer

Smush has been benchmarked and tested number one for speed and quality. It is also the award-winning, back-to-back proven crowd favorite image optimization & image compression plugin for WordPress.

Learn The Ropes With These Hands-On Smush Tutorials

Compress Image While Preserving Image Quality

Some image compression tools destroy images with as much as a 30% loss in quality. Our servers strip hidden bulky information from your images and reduce file size without affecting the appearance.

Smush meticulously scans every image you upload – or have already added to your site – cuts all the unnecessary data and scales it for you before adding it to your media library. And it can serve images in the WebP format.

Compress Images While You Sleep With Background Optimization

Have a large number of images to compress? Smush’s powerful optimization features will continue to work their magic in the background, even when you’ve closed the plugin completely. You’ll receive an email when optimization has completed with a full report.

Compress any Image in any Directory

In addition to smushing your media uploads, you may want to compress the images stored in other folders. Smush now lets you compress any image in any directory so that you can optimize all the images on your site – including NextGEN images, images stored on Amazon S3 using WP Offload Media and images in EVERY WordPress plugin and theme package!

Compatible with Your Favorite Themes, Page Builders and Media Library Plugins

No matter what theme or plugins you use to better manage your WordPress media library, Smush has you covered. Check out just a few of the popular products Smush is working with to help make your site faster and more efficient:

Incorrect Size Image Detection

Smush includes a wrong size image finder. Activate and your images will be highlighted with smart tips for scaling your images. Quickly locate the images that are keeping you from getting that perfect 100 on your Google PageSpeed test.

Defer Offscreen Images

Smush has lazy load built-in. If your page has a bunch of images below the fold, lazy loading will drastically speed up your page by serving only the images being viewed and delaying others further down the page.

Save time with Smush Configs

Configs allow you to save your preferred Smush configuration settings and apply them to your other sites in a few clicks. You can create unlimited configs.

★★★★★

“I had no idea that my page load time was being dragged down by the images. The plugin nearly halved the time it took.” – karlcw

★★★★★

“I optimise my photos in Photoshop, but Smush makes it so easy – it does it automatically. I can just sit back and enjoy the speed.” – helen432

★★★★★

“Smush helped reduce the total files size on my site and increased browsing speed. Well done guys!” – pdci

★★★★★

“It’s very discrete and does not bother me with an API key or other additional installation steps. The main dashboard of the plugin gives me nice insight. Overall it really fits my needs and I’ll be willing to upgrade to pro if my needs change. I’d recommend it to clients/friends without hesitation. Keep it up!” – tarkan_

What about Multisite?

Smush can be used to optimize all the images across your entire network! Use global settings or configure each site individually.

Smush is super easy to use – no confusing compression software settings. Smush images in your library one at a time or all together. Plus, configure auto-smush to asynchronously scale and compress some or all of your images as they are being uploaded – it’s incredibly fast.

The faster your site loads, the more Google, Bing, Yahoo, and other search engines will like it. Your site will load faster and rank higher.

Shameless Plug(ins)

Hummingbird – Page Speed Optimization
Hustle – Pop-ups, Slide-ins and Email Opt-ins
SmartCrawl – SEO Optimizer
Defender – Security, Monitoring, and Hack Protection
Forminator – Form, Poll, and Quiz Builder
Beehive – Customizable Google Analytics Dashboards

Smush can take care of all your image compression needs, for free!

However, if you’d like fast CDN image delivery, WebP conversion, automatic resizing, the ability to optimize (or optimise) images up to 32MB, bulk smush optimization for all your images in just one-click, auto-convert PNG to JPEG, the ability to Smush and make a copy of your full-sized images (to restore them at any point), you can always take the next step with WP Smush Pro. And get even more with her whole team of WordPress optimization hero friends (security, SEO, performance, support, and maintenance automation) – trusted by thousands of agencies and freelancers offering site maintenance services.

Privacy

Smush does not interact with end users on your website. The only input option Smush has is to a newsletter subscription for site admins only.

Smush uses a third-party email service (Mailchimp) to send informational emails (Opt-in) to the site administrator. The administrator’s email address is sent to Mailchimp and a cookie is set by the service. Only administrator information is collected by Mailchimp.

Smush sends images to the WPMU DEV servers to optimize them for web use. This includes the transfer of EXIF data. The EXIF data will either be stripped or returned as it is. It is not stored on the WPMU DEV servers.

WP-PageNavi

Authors:

Contributers: scribu Lester Chan

Charts and Tracking Description >>

Want to replace the old ← Older posts | Newer posts → links with some page links?

This plugin provides the wp_pagenavi() template tag which generates fancy pagination links.

Usage

In your theme, you need to find calls to next_posts_link() and previous_posts_link() and replace them.

In the Twentyten theme, it looks like this:

<div class="nav-previous"><?php next_posts_link( __( '<span class="meta-nav">&larr;</span> Older posts', 'twentyten' ) ); ?></div>
<div class="nav-next"><?php previous_posts_link( __( 'Newer posts <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span>', 'twentyten' ) ); ?></div>

You would replace those two lines with this:

<?php wp_pagenavi(); ?>

For multipart pages, you would look for code like this:

<?php wp_link_pages( ... ); ?>

and replace it with this:

<?php wp_pagenavi( array( 'type' => 'multipart' ) ); ?>

Go to WP-Admin -> Settings -> PageNavi for configuration.

Changing the CSS

If you need to configure the CSS style of WP-PageNavi, you can copy the pagenavi-css.css file from the plugin directory to your theme’s directory and make your modifications there. This way, you won’t lose your changes when you update the plugin.

Alternatively, you can uncheck the “Use pagenavi.css?” option from the settings page and add the styles to your theme’s style.css file directly.

Changing Class Names

There are filters that can be used to change the default class names that are assigned to page navigation elements.

Filters

wp_pagenavi_class_pages
wp_pagenavi_class_first
wp_pagenavi_class_previouspostslink
wp_pagenavi_class_extend
wp_pagenavi_class_smaller
wp_pagenavi_class_page
wp_pagenavi_class_current
wp_pagenavi_class_larger
wp_pagenavi_class_nextpostslink
wp_pagenavi_class_last

Filter Usage

// Simple Usage - 1 callback per filter
add_filter('wp_pagenavi_class_previouspostslink', 'theme_pagination_previouspostslink_class');
add_filter('wp_pagenavi_class_nextpostslink', 'theme_pagination_nextpostslink_class');
add_filter('wp_pagenavi_class_page', 'theme_pagination_page_class');

function theme_pagination_previouspostslink_class($class_name) {
  return 'pagination__control-link pagination__control-link--previous';
}

function theme_pagination_nextpostslink_class($class_name) {
  return 'pagination__control-link pagination__control-link--next';
}

function theme_pagination_page_class($class_name) {
  return 'pagination__current-page';
}


// More Concise Usage - 1 callback for all filters
add_filter('wp_pagenavi_class_previouspostslink', 'theme_pagination_class');
add_filter('wp_pagenavi_class_nextpostslink', 'theme_pagination_class');
add_filter('wp_pagenavi_class_page', 'theme_pagination_class');

function theme_pagination_class($class_name) {
  switch($class_name) {
    case 'previouspostslink':
      $class_name = 'pagination__control-link pagination__control-link--previous';
      break;
    case 'nextpostslink':
      $class_name = 'pagination__control-link pagination__control-link--next';
      break;
    case 'page':

Redirection

Authors:

Contributers: John Godley

Charts and Tracking Description >>

Redirection is the most popular redirect manager for WordPress. With it you can easily manage 301 redirections, keep track of 404 errors, and generally tidy up any loose ends your site may have. This can help reduce errors and improve your site ranking.

Redirection is designed to be used on sites with a few redirects to sites with thousands of redirects.

It has been a WordPress plugin for over 10 years and has been recommended countless times. And it’s free!

Full documentation can be found at https://redirection.me

Redirection is compatible with PHP from 5.6 to 8.1.

Redirect manager

Create and manage redirects quickly and easily without needing Apache or Nginx knowledge. If your WordPress supports permalinks then you can use Redirection to redirect any URL.

There is full support for regular expressions so you can create redirect patterns to match any number of URLs. You can match query parameters and even pass them through to the target URL.

The plugin can also be configured to monitor when post or page permalinks are changed and automatically create a redirect to the new URL.

Conditional redirects

In addition to straightforward URL matching you can redirect based on other conditions:

Login status – redirect only if the user is logged in or logged out
WordPress capability – redirect if the user is able to perform a certain capability
Browser – redirect if the user is using a certain browser
Referrer – redirect if the user visited the link from another page
Cookies – redirect if a particular cookie is set
HTTP headers – redirect based on a HTTP header
Custom filter – redirect based on your own WordPress filter
IP address – redirect if the client IP address matches
Server – redirect another domain if also hosted on this server
Page type – redirect if the current page is a 404

Full logging

A configurable logging option allows to view all redirects occurring on your site, including information about the visitor, the browser used, and the referrer. A ‘hit’ count is maintained for each redirect so you can see if a URL is being used.

Logs can be exported for external viewing, and can be searched and filtered for more detailed investigation.

Display geographic information about an IP address, as well as a full user agent information, to try and understand who the visitor is.

You are able to disable or reduce IP collection to meet the legal requirements of your geographic region, and can change the amount of information captured from the bare minimum to HTTP headers.

You can also log any redirect happening on your site, including those performed outside of Redirection.

Add HTTP headers

HTTP headers can be added to redirects or your entire site that help reduce the impact of redirects or help increase security. You can also add your own custom headers.

Track 404 errors

Redirection will keep track of all 404 errors that occur on your site, allowing you to track down and fix problems.

Errors can be grouped to show where you should focus your attention, and can be redirected in bulk.

Query parameter handling

You can match query parameters exactly, ignore them, and even pass them through to your target.

Migrate Permalinks

Changed your permalink structure? You can migrate old permalinks simply by entering the old permalink structure. Multiple migrations are supported.

Apache & Nginx support

By default Redirection will manage all redirects using WordPress. However you can configure it so redirects are automatically saved to a .htaccess file and handled by Apache itself.

If you use Nginx then you can export redirects to an Nginx rewrite rules file.

Fine-grained permissions

Fine-grained permissions are available so you can customise the plugin for different users. This makes it particularly suitable for client sites where you may want to prevent certain actions, and remove functionality.

Import & Export

The plugin has a fully-featured import and export system and you can:

Import and export to Apache .htaccess
Export to Nginx rewrite rules
Copy redirects between sites using JSON
Import and export to CSV for viewing in a spreadsheet
Use WP CLI to automate import and export

You can also import from the following plugins:

Simple 301 Redirects
SEO Redirection
Safe Redirect Manager
Rank Math
WordPress old slug redirects
Quick Post/Pages redirects

Search Regex compatible

Redirection is compatible with Search Regex, allowing you to bulk update your redirects.

Wait, it’s free?

Yes, it’s really free. There’s no premium version and no need to pay money to get access to features. This is a dedicated redirect management plugin.

Black Studio TinyMCE Widget

Authors:

Contributers: Francesco Canovi Marco Chiesi Black Studio

Charts and Tracking Description >>

This plugin adds a new Visual Editor widget type that allows you to insert rich text and media objects in your sidebars with no hassle. With Black Studio TinyMCE Widget you will be able to edit your widgets in a WYSIWYG manner using the native WordPress TinyMCE editor, just like you do in posts and pages. And if you are a developer you may still switch back and forth from Visual to HTML mode.

For years the default WordPress text widget has been very basic and it required HTML knowledge to add formatting and images/media to the text. This plugin was born in 2011 to overcome these limitations. After a long time, in June 2017, version 4.8 of WordPress finally introduced a new text widget that included the ability to manage text widgets with the visual editor. The new widget available in WordPress core could now be used as a basic replacement of Black Studio TinyMCE Widget, but the plugin still offers some additional features, so it remains a must-have for advanced users.

Basic Features

Add rich text widgets to your sidebars and edit them using the TinyMCE visual editor
Switch between Visual mode and HTML mode (including Quicktags toolbar)
Insert images, videos, and other media from WordPress Media Library
Insert links to existing WordPress pages/posts or external resources
Support for shortcodes, smilies and embed in widget text (including preview)
Support for the Block-based Widgets Editor introduced with WordPress 5.8
Support for Customizer with live preview and quick edit
Support for widgets accessibility mode
Compatible with multi-site (WordPress networks)
Compatible with the most common multi-language plugins
Compatible with Page Builder plugin by SiteOrigin
Translations available in 20+ languages

Advanced Features

These features are what makes this plugin better than the WordPress (4.8+) native widget:

Full featured TinyMCE Visual Editor (the same you have for pages and posts)
Wide text area for an enhanced editing experience
Compatible with 3rd party TinyMCE customization plugins (TinyMCE Advanced, WP Edit, …)
Support for distraction-free (fullscreen) editing mode
Option to “Automatically add paragraphs” to widget text

About the plugin

The story of the plugin was featured in a talk at WordCamp Europe 2018 in Belgrade.
See the video Once upon a time, there was a plugin… on WordPress.tv.

The Best WordPress Security Plugin to Secure & Protect WordPress

On average, 30,000 websites are hacked every day. Every 39 seconds, a new cyberattack happens somewhere on the web.

The good news is that most security disasters can be prevented. Using iThemes Security, you can identify and stop attacks on your website. Saving yourself the time and cost of repairing a hacked website.

Secure your Website in Minutes

The iThemes Security setup and onboarding experience is designed to allow anyone to secure their WordPress website in under 10 minutes, without needing a degree in cybersecurity.

Knowing that you have enabled all the right security settings for your website will leave you feeling like your site has never been more secure.

Security Site Templates to Fit Your Type of Site

An eCommerce site requires a different level of security than your average blog. iTheme Security Site Templates make it quick and easy to apply the right security settings for your website.

Choose from six different site templates to apply the type of security your site needs:
1. Ecommerce – websites that sell products or services
2. Network – websites that connect people or communities
3. Non-Profit – websites that promote your cause and collect donations
4. Blog – websites that share your thoughts or start a conversation
5. Portfolio – websites that showcase your craft
6. Brochure – simple websites that promote your business

Real-Time Website Security Dashboard

Every day, lots of activity is happening on your website that you can’t see. Many of these activities can be related to your site’s security, so monitoring these events is vital to keeping your site secure.

The iThemes Security Pro plugin provides a real-time WordPress security dashboard that monitors security-related events on your site around the clock. The iThemes Security Dashboard is a dynamic dashboard with all your WordPress website’s security activity stats in one place, including brute force attacks, banned users, active lockouts, site scan results, and user security stats (Pro).

WordPress Login Security

Secure your WordPress login with several layers of security

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) – Make your WordPress login nearly impenetrable to attack by requiring users to enter a security code along with a password to login. The iThemes Security plugin allows you to add two-factor authentication to your WordPress login with several authentication methods, including mobile apps like Authy and Google Authenticator, email, and backup codes.
Password Requirements – Create and enforce a password policy for your users in less than a minute.
reCAPTCHA (Pro) – Stop bad bots from engaging in abusive activities on your website, such as attempting to break into your website using compromised passwords, posting spam, or even scraping your content.
Passwordless Logins (Pro) – WordPress security made easy. Secure your user accounts with 2fa & strong passwords while allowing real users login with a click of a mouse.
Trusted Devices (Pro) – Identify the devices you and other users use to block session hijacking attacks and limit Administrator privileges to Trusted Devices.

The Right Amount of Security for Every User Level

Different types of user levels require different levels of security. During the iThemes Security setup process, you can identify your website’s key user groups. Once the different types of users are identified, you can apply the level of security that is just right for each user group.

Here are a couple of examples of how User Groups are useful for securing your site:

For Clients – Let’s say you are configuring iThemes Security on a client’s website. You will decide whether or not they are required to use two-factor authentication and if they should have access to the iThemes Security settings.
For Customers – If you have an eCommerce website, you will decide whether or not you want to protect customer accounts with a password policy.

Privilege Escalation (Pro) also adds a safe, secure way to grant temporary admin-level access to your website.

Block Bad Bots & Ban User Agents with Lockouts

Ban Users – Permanently block repeat offenders from accessing your site.
Local Brute Force Protection – Automatically identify and stop the most common method of attack on WordPress sites.
Network Brute Force Protection – The network is the iThemes Security community and is over a million websites strong. If someone tries to break into websites in the iThemes Security community, iThemes Security will block them across the network.
Magic Links (Pro) – Security shouldn’t get in your way. Magic Links allow you to log in to your WordPress site while your username is locked out by the iThemes Security Local Brute Force Protection feature.

Monitor Your Site’s Security Health

File Change Detection – iThemes Security logs changes made to your website that can help detect malicious activity on your website.
Site Scanner – Enable twice-daily checks for known vulnerabilities of WordPress core file, plugins and themes. Using the Google Safe Browsing API, the Site Scan also checks your Google’s blocklist status and will alert you if Google has found any malware on your website.
Site Scanner (Pro) – Unlock Version Management to automatically apply a patch to vulnerable software detected by the Site Scan when one is available.
User Logging (Pro) – Keep a record of user activity in your WordPress security logs, including login/logout, user registration, adding/removing plugins, switching themes, changes to posts and pages, and more.
Version Management (Pro) – The Version Management feature in iThemes Security Pro allows you to auto-update WordPress, plugins, and themes. Beyond that, Version Management also has options to harden your website when you are running outdated software and scan for old websites.

Website Security Utilities

Enforce SSL – Force all connections to the website to be made over SSL/TLS.
Database Backups – Create backups of your WordPress database. (Not a complete backup.)
Geolocation (Pro) – Improve Trusted Devices by connecting to an external location or mapping API.

Advanced Security Tools

Identify Server IPs – Prevent issues caused by inadvertently locking out your server IPs.
Change User ID 1 – Change the user ID for the first WordPress user.
Change Database Prefix -Change the database prefix that WordPress uses.
Check File Permission – See the file and directory permissions of key areas of your site.
Server Config Rules – View or flush the server security rules generated by iThemes Security.
wp-config.php Rules – View or flush the wp-config.php security rules generated by iThemes Security.
Change WordPress Salts – Secure your site after a successful attack by changing the WordPress salts used to secure cookies and security tokens.

Authors:

Contributers: Matcha Labs

Charts and Tracking Description >>

With MetaSlider you can create a powerful, SEO-optimized slider, slideshow, carousel, or gallery in minutes with the world’s #1 responsive WordPress slider plugin. MetaSlider is the best choice for image, photo, video (YouTube and Vimeo), layer, html, WooCommerce, and post feed sliders!

Overview

With MetaSlider and MetaSlider Pro, WordPress’s most popular slider plugin, enhancing your blog or website couldn’t be easier! Simply select images, photos, videos and more from your WordPress Media Library, drag and drop them into place, and then set the slide captions, links and SEO fields all from one page.

MetaSlider slideshows, carousels, sliders and galleries are compatible with the WordPress Block Editor (Gutenberg).

Sliders For Site Owners

MetaSlider gives you the power to create a beautiful slider, slideshow, carousel, or gallery on your WordPress site, through the most simple and intuitive plugin interface of any WordPress image, photo, and video plugin. Show off your images, photographs and videos, latest work, or even the products in your online store. MetaSlider’s built-in SEO features ensure that people will have no trouble finding your site and the slider, slide show, gallery and carousel that you create!

Sliders For Developers

Meta Slider gives access to much of its functionality through WordPress filters and actions, so you can customise MetaSlider just the way you want.

Sliders For Theme Developers

A perfectly integrated slider, slide show, carousel, and gallery plugin will make your theme more engaging and effective for your users.

These sliders support image, photo, video (YouTube/Vimeo), layer, html, product, and post feed slides. Some slide types require MetaSlider Pro.

New Photo Gallery Experience

MetaSlider now features a new gallery experience that supports images and photos. With an easy drag and drop photo gallery builder, you can create a responsive and optimized photo gallery in seconds using the same WordPress Media Gallery images you are already using with MetaSlider sliders, slide shows, and carousels. The Meta Slider photo gallery can be added to any page using a simple shortcode, just like MetaSlider.

We are building the photo gallery following these principles:

Fast – Using modern best practices, your responsive photo gallery will be faster than ever.
SEO-focused – Search engines will love your photo gallery.
Fully WCAG accessible – All users will be able to enjoy your responsive photo gallery.
Easy to use, fun to master. With advanced photo gallery features for those who need them.

Our responsive photo gallery includes the easy to use features you would expect. You can create a photo gallery, add images to your gallery from the WordPress Media Library, drag and drop images and photos in your gallery to reorder, and add an image alt attribute to your images and photos to ensure that your gallery is SEO friendly. To make sure that your responsive photo gallery looks just right on your WordPress page or post, the Meta Slider gallery allows you to change the image and photo width, max width, min width, and spacing of your gallery.

The MetaSlider photo gallery also offers a distraction free fullscreen mode for gallery editing, and we will soon add to the photo gallery a dark mode and background color selection.

To add your responsive Meta Slider photo gallery to a page, simply click the “add to page” button in your gallery editor to generate a WordPress shortcode that you can drop onto any page or post.

The MetaSlider photo gallery is in development, and we would love to hear your feedback on the gallery and ideas for photo gallery features we should work on next.

Carousel Sliders

In addition to creating traditional sliders and slideshows, MetaSlider can be used to build carousels that allow you to show multiple images at any one time. MetaSlider carousels are compatible with all slide types: image, photo, video (YouTube and Vimeo), layer, html, product, and post feed slides. They’re ideal for showing a list of your latest posts or to use as a “Featured Product” slider for your homepage.

Simple and Easy to Use Sliders

MetaSlider has a beautiful, intuitive interface that will let you create stunning slideshows with ease. MetaSlider’s simple, easy-to-use slider and gallery building interface allows you to build a beautiful image, photo, video (YouTube/Vimeo), layer, html, product, and post feed slider, slideshow, carousel and gallery that is fast and responsive. With MetaSlider’s drag and drop reordering for your slider, slideshow, carousel, and gallery, you can easily iterate on a design to find the perfect look for your site.

Our simple and intuitive interface is perfect for individual users, developers & clients!

Support for Every Type of Content Slider

MetaSlider provides unrestricted support for your image and photo slider, slide show, carousel, and gallery, including captions, links, title texts and alt text. With the MetaSlider Pro add-on you can also add video (YouTube/Vimeo), layer, html, product, and post feed content to a slider, slide show or carousel.

You can use any combination of MetaSlider Pro slide types for sliders, slideshows, and carousels. For example you can have a slider with an image slide, a post feed slide (that can contain multiple posts), and a video slide. To create this simply add slides as you normally would, selecting the relevant slide type each time.

The Meta Slider gallery currently supports image and photo content that can be added directly from your WordPress Media Library.

Image Sliders

This may be the most basic slide type, but it still makes a great impression on any website! Present your beautiful images to a stunning slider, slide show, carousel, or gallery. Image slides are a basic slide type included in Meta Slider. An image slide will display an image with a caption. You can optionally link the slide to a URL of your choice.

Add images to your slide shows directly from your WordPress media manager, add the captions you want, set SEO fields and adjust the settings to display the slideshow just how you like it. Take it further with MetaSlider Pro and use the Theme Editor to change the look of the navigation, the arrows, and the captions.

Photo Sliders

Use responsive image slides and filmstrip navigation to create a simple but effective slideshow to show off your beautiful photographs and other images. Add a photo lightbox plugin with our MetaSlider Lightbox add-on to let people view the image as large as possible.

Take your photo portfolio further with Thumbnail Navigation as part of MetaSlider Pro. Thumbnail navigation for photos adds a carousel row of thumbnails below your slider or slideshow. You can customize the photo thumbnails to optimize the most engaging experience for your site visitors.

Animated Layer Sliders

With MetaSlider Pro you can create animated Layer Slides for your slider, slideshow, or carousel. Create CSS3 animated HTML Layer slides using the built in drag and drop editor. Meta Slider Layer Slides are ideal for easily creating eye catching slider presentations and slide shows using stunning effects with 50 animation options and a beautiful, easy to use interface. Layers can include text, html, images, photos, videos and even shortcodes! Layer Slide users also benefit from additional optimisation and customisation options, including using a video as the slide background and adjusting the padding and background colour of each layer.

Post Feed Sliders

With MetaSlider Pro you can create Post Feed slides to automatically show your latest content, blog posts, events or WooCommerce products in your slider, slide show, or carousel. MetaSlider Post Feed slides dynamically pull in slides based on your WordPress posts, using the featured image as the slide. They are also commonly known as “Content Sliders”, “Featured Sliders”, “Post Sliders” or “Dynamic Sliders”.

The post feed slide settings allow you to control which post types you want to display, the order to display them in and to restrict the posts to certain tags or categories. You can customise the caption template with a selection of template tags including {title}, {excerpt}, {author} and {date}. As with all our other slide types a Post Feed slide can appear in combination with any other slide type.

Post Feed slides can be used to show one post at a time but they work particularly well in carousel mode (as above) allowing you to show off a large number of your latest posts in a small amount of space.

YouTube and Vimeo Video Sliders

With MetaSlider Pro you can easily include responsive high definition YouTube & Vimeo videos in your slider, slideshow, or carousel. A video slide will display a video in your slide show directly from Vimeo or YouTube. The video will automatically pause if the user skips to the next slide.

Simply add the URL of your video to a YouTube or Vimeo slide and Meta Slider will add it to your slider, slideshow, or carousel. Either create a slide show full of you favourite videos or mix it in between slides of other types to get just the result that you want.

If you select the FlexSlider option with video slides you can take advantage of MetaSliders play/pause functionality. This means that you can have your slideshow autoplay but will pause when you set a video to play and carry on once the video has finished. You could even have the slider or slide show autoplay to give you a smooth, completely automatic presentation!

HTML Overlay Sliders

With MetaSlider Pro you can create completely customized HTML slides using the inline editor. We’ve even built-in over 50 awesome CSS3 transitions!

External URL Sliders

With MetaSlider Pro you can create External URL Slides to load images for your slider, slideshow, or carousel directly from non-WordPress sources, for example CDN’s or image hosts.

Sliders Make Any Site More Engaging

Portfolio Sites

Add some photos to your slider, slideshow, or carousel as layer slides, then add a layer covering the image set to a semi-transparent colour to give a fantastic overlay. Then add some text that animates in to give some details about your company. Select the stretch option so that your slider, slideshow, or carousel fills the screen to really make an impact. Underneath that, add an image slide showing some of your latest work. Add our MetaSlider Lightbox add-on plugin to let you zoom-in on the work. Or you could add a post slide in carousel mode, set to display a post type of your client with their logo as the featured image.

Photography Sites

Use image slides and filmstrip navigation to create a simple but effective slider or slideshow to show off your beautiful photographs and other images. Add a lightbox plugin with our MetaSlider Lightbox add-on to let people view the image as large as possible.

Online Store

With MetaSlider Pro, add a slider or slideshow with layer slides showing off your latest offers at the top and a carousel post slide at the bottom displaying your products post type. MetaSlider works nicely with Woocommerce and allows you to use information such as the product price in the post slide template.

News Site or Blog

With MetaSlider Pro, show off your featured story or use a Post Slide to show your latest posts with a slider, slideshow, or carousel.

Use simple image slides to show images relating to a featured story. Combine that with a slider or slide show, set to carousel mode, containing a post slide to display other stories. Use the Theme Editor to move and style the captions to fit your theme.

Optimized for Speed

MetaSlider is Fast – only the minimum JavaScript/CSS is included on your page to power your slider, slideshow, carousel, or gallery. We have optimized the Meta Slider plugin so that your images, photos, videos (YouTube/Vimeo), layers, html slides, products, and post feeds, load quickly without slowing down your website visitors’ experience.

Unsplash Integration

MetaSlider is integrated with Unsplash to access free images and photos via Unsplash.com for your slider, slideshow, carousel, and gallery. Finding the right image or photo can be the hardest part of creating a compelling slider, slide show, carousel, or gallery, and MetaSlider makes this process easy for you by never leaving your WordPress plugin interface.

Responsive and SEO-optimized

MetaSlider is a responsive, SEO-optimized WordPress plugin that lets you create a slider, slideshow, carousel, and gallery in seconds that are responsive and SEO-optimized.

Your MetaSlider responsive slider, slideshow, carousel, or gallery will adapt to the width of the device they’re being displayed on, including desktop, mobile or tablet. The content will be responsive regardless of the type of content you use: image, photo, video (YouTube/Vimeo), layer, html, product, and post feed slides.

The Meta Slider SEO tab lets you set image title and alt text for your slides. The title text should provide additional information about the slide, whereas the alt text should be used to describe the image itself. This data allows search engines to ‘read’ your slides and helps with search engine rankings!

WP Mail SMTP by WPForms – The Most Popular SMTP and Email Log Plugin

Authors:

Contributers: Callum Macdonald

Charts and Tracking Description >>

WordPress Mail SMTP Plugin

Having problems with your WordPress site not sending emails? You’re not alone. Over 3 million websites use WP Mail SMTP to send their emails reliably.

Our goal is to make email deliverability easy and reliable. We want to ensure your emails reach the inbox.

WP Mail SMTP fixes your email deliverability by reconfiguring WordPress to use a proper SMTP provider when sending emails.

Best of all, our easy-to-use Setup Wizard and detailed documentation guide you through the process.

WP Mail SMTP is free and has everything you need to reliably send your WordPress emails!

WP Mail SMTP Pro unlocks even more powerful features like email logging, advanced email reporting and stats, backup connections, email alerts, smart conditional routing, and much more.

What is SMTP?

SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is an industry standard for sending emails. Proper SMTP configuration helps increase email deliverability by using authentication.

Popular email clients like Gmail, Yahoo, Office 365, and Zoho are in a constant battle with email spammers. One of the things they look at is if an email is originating from the location it claims to be originating from.

If the proper authentication isn’t there, then emails either go in the SPAM folder or worst, don’t get delivered at all.

This is a problem for a lot of WordPress sites because by default, WordPress uses the PHP mail function to send emails generated by WordPress or any contact form plugin like WPForms.

The issue is that most WordPress hosting companies don’t have their servers properly configured for sending PHP emails.

The combination of two causes your WordPress emails to not get delivered.

How does WP Mail SMTP work?

WP Mail SMTP plugin easily resolves email delivery problems by improving and changing how your WordPress site sends email. We reconfigure the wp_mail() function to either use proper SMTP host credentials or leverage a built-in SMTP mail provider.

When using one of our built-in SMTP mail provider integrations (recommended), emails are sent using the provider’s direct API. This means even if your web host is blocking SMTP ports, your emails still send successfully.

This helps you fix all WordPress not sending email issues.

WP Mail SMTP plugin includes many different SMTP setup options:

SendLayer (#1 Recommended)
SMTP.com (Recommended)
Sendinblue SMTP (Recommended)
Mailgun SMTP
SendGrid SMTP
Postmark SMTP
SparkPost SMTP
Gmail SMTP (Gmail, Google Workspace, G Suite)
Microsoft SMTP (Outlook.com and Office 365) [Pro]
Amazon SES SMTP [Pro]
Zoho Mail SMTP [Pro]
All Other SMTP

For most options, you can specify the “from name” and “email address” for outgoing emails.

Instead of having users use different SMTP plugins and workflows for different SMTP providers, we decided to bring it all in one. This is what makes WP Mail SMTP, the best SMTP solution for WordPress.

SendLayer is our #1 recommended transactional email service.

Unlike other Gmail SMTP plugins, our Gmail SMTP option uses OAuth to authenticate your Google account, keeping your login information 100% secure.

Read our Gmail documentation for more details.

Microsoft SMTP (Outlook.com and Office 365)

Many businesses use Outlook.com or Microsoft 365 to power their email. Our Microsoft mailer integration allows you to use your existing Outlook.com or Microsoft 365 account to send emails from WordPress for better deliverability.

Read our Outlook and Microsoft 365 documentation for more details.

Amazon SES SMTP

Advanced or technical users can harness the power of Amazon AWS (Amazon Web Services) with the Amazon SES mailer. With this integration, you can send a high volume of emails at a very reasonable rate.

Read our Amazon SES documentation for more details.

Zoho Mail SMTP

Send emails using your personal or business Zoho Mail account, all while keeping your login credentials safe.

Read our Zoho Mail documentation for more details.

Other SMTP

WP Mail SMTP plugin also works with all major email services such as Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, Microsoft Live, and any other email sending service that offers SMTP.

You can set the following options:

Specify an SMTP host.

Specify an SMTP username and password.

Email Log

Email Logging lets you log and view all emails sent from your site. Email logs are helpful for storing emails for your records, auditing outgoing emails, and debugging during site development.

But that’s just the beginning. Our powerful WordPress email logs unlock extra tools to help you measure email engagement and improve email deliverability:

Email Log Details

Each Email Log entry includes a lot of useful information about the email, including the subject, sender, recipients (TO, CC and BCC), email content, email headers, open&click tracking stats, delivery status, which WordPress plugin sent the email, and more!

Resend Emails

You resend any email or forward it to one or more email addresses, right from your email log. From the overview page, you can also resend multiple emails in bulk. This is an awesome way to resend emails that failed or forward important emails to an alternative email address.

Store Email Attachments

WP Mail SMTP lets you store all of the email attachments that are sent from your WordPress site. That makes it easy to review an attachment or archive it locally.

Export Email Logs

Easily export your WordPress email logs to CSV, EML, or Excel. You can filter the email logs before you export and only download the data you need. This feature lets you easily create your own deliverability reports. You can also use the data in 3rd party dashboards to track deliverability along with your other website statistics.

Print Emails

Once you’ve activated email logging, any individual log file can be printed in an easy-to-read format. If you want to archive an email log digitally, it’s easy to export it to a PDF document too.

Email Reports

Email reports make it easy to track deliverability and engagement at-a-glance. Your open and click-through rates are grouped by subject line, making it easy to review the performance of campaigns or notifications. The report also displays Sent and Failed emails each week so you can spot any issues quickly. You’ll also see an email report chart right in your WordPress dashboard.

Weekly Email Summary

Get statistics about WordPress emails sent directly into your inbox. Our weekly emails reveal how many emails are being sent from your WordPress site, and which ones are getting opens and clicks. The Summary also shows you deliverability statistics at-a-glance so you can spot any issues without logging into WordPress.

Track Email Opens and Clicks

Wondering if your important emails were actually opened, or if any links in the email were clicked? Our email log allows you view open and click tracking stats for your WordPress emails and our Email Reports feature groups these stats by subject, so you can analyze their performance.

Email Alerts

Get instantly notified about failed emails! If your site’s mailer or SMTP service stops sending your emails, you’ll immediately receive a notification. Choose from several helpful alert methods, including:

Email Notifications
Slack Notifications
SMS/Twilio Notifications
Webhook Notifications

In combination with Email Logging and Email Resend, Email Alerts let you ensure that no important email will ever be lost.

Backup Connection

WP Mail SMTP Pro allows you to configure multiple mailer providers. The main configuration will be your Primary Connection, and you can set another as your Backup Connection.
If an email fails to send via your Primary Connection, WP Mail SMTP will automatically route it through your Backup Connection and try to send it again. This means fewer missed emails, even when something goes wrong.

Smart Conditional Routing

Smart Routing enables you to send emails through different mailer providers based on custom criteria. Easily configure your Smart Routing conditions using dozens of pre-determined options, including the contents of the email Subject or Message, From or To addresses, or which plugin initiated the email, just to name a few.

Using Smart Routing lets you choose the best mailer for each type of email you send. Select a transactional mailer to send out your eCommerce order confirmations, another mailer for your newsletter and marketing emails, and more!

Selecting the best mailer for each type of email you need to send will improve your overall deliverability and make sure your emails arrive in users’ inboxes.

Manage WordPress Emails and Notifications

The Manage Notification feature gives you full control over which email notifications WordPress sends. This means you can disable different WordPress notification emails. Don’t want to receive emails when new users are created? No problem, turn it off.

WordPress Multisite

WordPress Multisite Network Settings

For users running a multisite network, our network settings provide a centralized location to easily configure your SMTP settings for all sites, saving you time.

Manage Multisite Email Logs Easily

WP Mail SMTP makes it easy for Network Admins to view and manage email logs for subsites. You can access all of your deliverability information from the Network Admin dashboard and quickly switch between subsites. That makes it easy to review email logging data for all subsites on one centralized page.

Expert Support

We provide limited support for the WP Mail SMTP plugin on the WordPress.org forums. Access to our world class one-on-one email support is available to WP Mail SMTP Pro users.

White Glove Setup

Our White Glove Setup service is a great option that anyone can benefit from. Whether you don’t have the time or maybe you feel a bit in over your head – we’ve got you covered.

You can sit back and relax while we set up everything for you. White glove setup includes WP Mail SMTP plugin installation and setup, configuration adjustments to your DNS for proper email domain name verification, SMTP.com or Mailgun setup, and final testing to confirm everything is passing with flying colors.

Security

The WP Mail SMTP team takes security very seriously. Not only does the plugin follow all security best practices, but we have several options available to ensure your site is safe and secure.

Direct SMTP mailer integrations (recommended), such as SMTP.com, Sendinblue, Mailgun, SendGrid, Postmark and SparkPost, use the official provider APIs. This means you never enter your username or password in the plugin settings and these credentials are not stored in the database. Instead, we use tokens or API keys which are much more secure.
When using Other SMTP mailer, we provide the option to insert your password in your wp-config.php file, so it’s not visible in your WordPress settings or saved in the database.

WP Mail SMTP plugin was originally created by Callum Macdonald. It is now owned and maintained by the team behind WPForms – the best drag & drop form builder for WordPress.

How does Really Simple SSL’s HTTPS migration work?

The plugin will check for an existing SSL certificate. If you don’t have one, you can generate one in the plugin. Depending on your hosting provider, the plugin can also install it for you or assist with instructions.
If needed, It will handle known issues WordPress has with SSL. An example might be that your website uses a loadbalancer, proxy or headers are not passed to detect a certificate.
All incoming requests are redirected to HTTPS with a default 301 WordPress redirect. You can also choose a .htaccess redirect.
The Site URL and Home URL are changed to HTTPS.
Your insecure content is fixed by replacing all HTTP:// URLs with HTTPS://, except external hyperlinks, dynamically.
Cookies with PHP are set securely by setting them with the HTTPOnly flag.

WP-Optimize – Cache, Clean, Compress.

Authors:

Contributers: ruhanirabin snightingale aporter DNutbourne David Anderson

Charts and Tracking Description >>

WP-Optimize Cache is a revolutionary, all-in-one WordPress performance plugin that caches your site, cleans your database, compresses your images.

Our cache feature is built around the world’s fastest caching engine. This simple, popular and highly effective tool has everything you need to keep your website fast and thoroughly optimized!

It does it in three clever ways:

It allows you to clean and optimise your database.
It gives you the option to compress your images.
It allows you to cache your pages, for super fast load times (read more caching information below).

It also enables you to minify and asynchronise CSS and JavaScript (aka. “defer CSS JavaScript”).

Extensive tests show the cache feature alone can make WordPress sites at least as fast as any other caching or speed plugin available and often faster. But when you combine the cache with the database optimization, image compression features and minify, the speed difference with alternative solutions is significant.

NEW: The built-in minify feature adds another layer of optimization, reducing the size and number of requests to your server.

1. Cleans the database

Your WordPress database stores everything that you need for your website – plus many things that you don’t. WP-Optimize Cache clears out all of this unnecessary data, cleans up your tables and even retrieves space lost to data fragmentation.

Mobile-friendly and incredibly simple to use, it:

Removes all unnecessary data (e.g. trashed/unapproved/spam comments, stale data) plus pingbacks, trackbacks and expired transient options
Compacts/de-fragment MySQL tables with a button-press
Detailed control of which optimizations you wish to carry out
Carries out automatic weekly (or otherwise) clean-ups
Retains a set number of weeks’ data during clean-ups
Performs optimizations without the need for running manual queries
Automatically trigger a pre-optimize backup via UpdraftPlus
Show database statistics and potential savings

Why is this important?

The tables in MySQL (the database that WordPress uses) will, over time, become inefficient as data is added, removed, moved around. Asking MySQL to optimize its tables every now and again will keep your site running as fast as possible. It won’t happen by itself.
Every-time you save a new post or pages, WordPress creates a revision of that post or page. If you edit a post 6 times you might have 5 copy of that post as revisions. This quickly adds lots of rarely-used data to your database tables, making them unnecessarily bloated, and slower to access.
There might be thousands of spam and un-approved comments in your comments table, WP-Optimize Cache can clean and remove those in a single click.
WP-Optimize Cache reports which database tables have overhead and wasted space to allow you to reduce them.
Automatically cleans your database every week and respects the “Keep last [selected number] weeks data” option.

WP-Optimize Cache helps you to:

Make space: When you edit a post or page on your website, WordPress automatically saves the new revision to the database. If you edit things a few times (and particularly if the post is long), your database soon gets clogged up with old revisions that just sit there, taking up valuable space. WP-Optimize Cache removes these unnecessary post revisions, freeing up valuable Megabytes of data and increasing speed and efficiency. It also cleans up your comments table, removing all the spam and un-approved comments that have built up with a single click.
Take control: WP-Optimize Cache reports on exactly which of your database tables have overhead and wasted space, giving you the insight, control and power to keep your website neat, fast and efficient.
Keep it clean and fast: Once enabled, WP-Optimize Cache can run an automatic clean-up on a schedule, keeping a selected number of weeks’ data, according to your specification.

2. Compresses images

Loading large images is often the biggest culprit in slowing your site’s loading time.

WP-Optimize Cache has an image-compression tool that uses cutting-edge lossy compression techniques to convert large images (which take a long time to load up) into compressed files saved in your image library, where they can be uploaded in an instant.

It enables you to compress PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP and TIF pictures up to 5MB in size, and it’s packed with other useful features, including:

Bulk compression, allowing you to compress multiple existing images at the same time.
Intelligent, multi-pass lossy compression algorithm, which gives you twice the compression with much less loss of quality.
‘Restore Originals’ function, which allows you to retrieve or revert back to your original images at any point.
Auto-compress function, which automatically compress images as they’re added to the site.
EXIF Data-Keeping means image information is retained even once the image is compressed.

This WordPress plugin allows you to increase your page speed without compromising the image quality.

3. Caches pages

Depending on your setup, page caching can be what makes the biggest difference to your website’s speed and performance.

Caching involves keeping dynamic data in a temporary storage area so that it can be retrieved in an instant. Caching is a sure-fire way to ensure that web pages load at lightning-fast speed.

Practically, our powerful yet simple cache feature generates the cache when a user visits any page or post on your site. WordPress processes the dynamic php files to generate that page, and we save it into a static html file in the cache folder, so that when the next user visits, the page is cached and doesn’t need processing. This caching results in a much faster loading time, and gives a slight break to your server. So caching increases speed and performance while reducing the server’s use of resources.

With minimal configuration, caching your site with WP-Optimize Cache is easy to do thanks to a load of useful features, including:

Cache preloading to ensure the cache is always ready and loaded.
Gzip compression of HTML, JavaScript, and CSS to reduce site load time.
Device-Specific cache to ensure the optimized page version is always served.
Advanced cache exclusion rules, so that you can cache almost anything by excluding logged in users, specific URLs or cookies.
Browser Cache to instruct client browsers to reuse cached resources (HTML, CSS, JS, images) if no changes were made since the last request.

Minify and combine CSS and JavaScript

On top of its three main features, WP-Optimize Cache also has the more advanced minification feature. Combining and minifying your site’s assets will reduce the number of requests to your server (by combining them) and reduce their size (by minifying their content).

Together with caching and Gzip compression, this will improve the performance and time to “first contentful paint”.

The minify feature also enables you to defer CSS and JavaScript. Defering CSS and JavaScript allows you to load non-critical assets after the main page load, resulting in an apparent speed gain. Minifying and defering CSS and JavaScript also makes Google PageSpeed Insights happy!

Overall WP-Optimize brings the best cache and optimization technology together in a single seamless plugin to make your WordPress site fast, lean and efficient.

WP-Optimize Cache Premium

Our free version of WP-Optimize Cache is great, but we also have an even more powerful Premium version with extra features that offer the ultimate in freedom and flexibility:

Multisite Support: extends database optimisations so they function for multiple WordPress sites at a time. If you manage more than one website, you will need WP-Optimize Cache Premium.
Flexibility and Control: gives you the power to optimize select individual tables or a particular combination of tables on one or more WordPress websites, rather than having to optimize all database tables.
Deleting unused and unwanted images: removes orphaned images from your WordPress site, plus images of a certain, pre-defined size.
Sophisticated Scheduling: offers a wide range of options for scheduling automatic optimization. Specify an exact time and run clean-ups daily, weekly, fortnightly or monthly and perform any number of additional once off optimizations.
Seamless Graphical User Interface: for superb clarity in scheduling and managing of multi-site optimizations.
WP-CLI support: provides a way to manage optimizations from command-line interface if you have lots of sites
Lazy Loading: load only the images and part of a web-page when it is visible to the user so they can see something very quickly.
Optimization Preview: gives users the ability to preview, select and remove data and records available for optimization from the database.
Preload key requests: preload assets such as web fonts and icon fonts, as recommended by Google PageSpeed Insights.
Premium support – caching is one of the most complex things you can do for a website, so premium support offers you peace of mind there’s someone to talk quickly to if you need any technical answers or help configuring the optimizations of cache settings for your website.

LOGIN SECURITY FEATURE SUITE

Protect against brute-force attacks and keep bots at bay. All-In-One Security takes WordPress’ default login security features to a whole new level.

Supports best practice: All-In-One Security detects if an account has the default ‘admin’ username or if a user has identical login and display names, prompting the user to change this in support of better security practices.
Hide login page from bots: Configure a custom URL for the WordPress ‘Admin’ login page, making it harder for bots to find.
Change default wp_ prefix: Hackers use automated code to attack websites like yours. Make life harder for them and protect your site with this simple but effective AIOS security feature.
Login lockout: External users making multiple login attempts can be locked out for a configured period of time. You can also lockout users with invalid usernames. See a list of all locked out users and unlock with one click.
Reporting: All-In-One Security provides a wealth of information about website users. View activity by username, IP address, login and logout dates and times. See a list of users currently logged in, and a list of all failed login attempts.
Force logouts: Ensure users don’t stay logged in indefinitely. With All-In-One Security you can force logouts for all users after a configurable amount of time.
Robot verification: For additional security and to prevent spam registrations, implement Cloudflare Turnstile, Google reCAPTCHA, plain maths CAPTCHA or a honeypot to registration pages, or enable manual approval of user accounts instead.
Stops user enumeration: Prevent external users and bots from fetching user information via author permalink.
Two-factor authentication: All-In-One Security TFA supports Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Authy and many more.
Password strength tool: Calculates how long it would take for your password to be cracked through a brute force attack.
General visitor lockout Put your site into “maintenance mode” and lock down the front-end to all visitors. This can be useful while doing back end tasks, like performing site upgrades or investigating security threats.
WordPress Salts Security Feature Extended: All-In-One Security adds 64 new characters to WordPress Salts and changes them weekly, making it even more challenging for hackers to crack your users’ WordPress passwords.

FIREWALL & FILE PROTECTION SECURITY SUITE

A Web Application Firewall (WAF) is your website’s first line of defence, protecting your site by monitoring traffic and blocking malicious requests.

Progressively activate firewall settings: These range from basic, intermediate and advanced.
Automatic protection from the latest threats: Our team maintains a list of known exploits, actively building protections against them which are then released as new firewall rules to free and paying customers.
6G blacklist: All-In-One Security incorporates ‘6G Blacklist’ firewall rules, protecting your site against a known list of malicious URL requests, bots, spam referrers and other attacks (courtesy of Perishable Press).
Protect against fake Google bots: Bots presenting as Google crawlers can steal your content and litter your webpage with comment spam. Protect against it with the All-In-One Security Web Application Firewall.
Blacklist functionality: Ban users by IP address, IP address range or by specifying user agents.
Prevent DDOS attacks: Prevent malicious users from performing DDOS attacks through a known vulnerability in WordPress XML-RPC pingback functionality.
Prevent image hotlinking: Protect server bandwidth and your website’s content by preventing other sites from using your imagery via hotlinking.
Cross site scripting (XSS) protection: All-In-One Security prevents attackers from injecting malicious script into your website via a special cookie.
File change detection: Security scanners alert you to file changes in your WordPress system, so you can see if a change is legitimate or suspicious, and investigate as appropriate.
Disable PHP file editing: Protect your PHP code by disabling the ability to edit files in the WordPress administration area.
Permission setting alerts: Identify files or folders where the permission settings are not secure and correct with one-click.
Ability to create custom rules: Advanced users can add custom rules to block access to various resources on your site.
Access prevention: Prevent external users from accessing the readme.html, license.txt and wp-config-sample.php files of your WordPress site.

CONTENT PROTECTION SECURITY SUITE

Eliminate spam, protect your WordPress content, and your search engine rankings with these important security features from All-In-One-Security.

Comment SPAM prevention : Webpages littered with spam comments damage your brand, effect the user experience and impact SEO.
All-In-One Security stops SPAM at the source by preventing comments that originate from other domains. AIOS automatically and permanently blocks spammers’ IP addresses. Site owners can use Cloudflare Turnstile or Google reCAPTCHA to reduce comment spam and block malicious users with just one click.
iFrame protection: Preventing other websites from reproducing your content via an ‘iFrame’ is a useful security feature that protects your intellectual property and your website visitors.
Copywriting protection: Stop users from stealing your content by disabling the right-click, select and copy text function.
Disable RSS and Atom Feeds: RSS and Atom Feeds can be used by bots to ‘scrape’ your website content and present it as their own. This feature prevents that by disabling RSS and Atom Feeds on your website.

LATEST AND GENERAL SECURITY FEATURES

Audit Log: The All-In-One Security audit log gives Admins a view of events taking place on their WordPress website. They can see if anything strange is happening and detect security risks. For example, you can see if a plugin or theme has been added, removed, updated, activated or deactivated without your knowledge or consent.

INTERESTED IN AIOS PREMIUM?

For even greater protections, consider All-In-One Security (AIOS) Premium. It’s one of the most cost-effective and comprehensive WordPress Security plugins on the market and extends the powers of ‘Free’ with:

MALWARE SCANNING (Premium only)

Finding out by accident that your website’s security has been compromised due to malware is too late.

Malware can have a dramatic effect on search rankings. It can slow your site down, access customer data, send unsolicited emails, change your content or prevent users from accessing it.

Alerts you to blacklisting: Search engines can very quickly blacklist a site hacked with malicious code. All-In-One Security Premium monitors your site’s status daily and alerts you if you’ve been blacklisted.
Notification if something is amiss: We’ll notify you of any malware issues within 24 hours so you can take action, before it’s too late.
Response time monitoring: You’ll know immediately if website response time is negatively affected.
Up-time monitoring: All-In-One Security checks website uptime every 5 minutes. We’ll notify you if your site/server goes down.
Flexible assignment: Register and remove WordPress sites from security scanning at any time.
Security Reports: Security Reports are available via the ‘My Account’ page and directly via email.

FLEXIBLE TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION (PREMIUM ONLY)

TFA is available in our free packages. All-In-One Security Premium affords whole new levels of control over how TFA is implemented.

Role specific configuration: Make TFA compulsory for certain roles, e.g. for admin and editor roles.
Require TFA after set time period: For example, you could require all admins to have TFA once their accounts are a week old.
Trusted Devices: Ask for TFA after a chosen number of days for trusted devices instead of on every login.
Anti-bot Protection: Option to hide the existence of forms on WooCommerce login pages unless JavaScript is active.
Customise design layout: Customise the design of TFA so that it aligns with your existing web design.
Emergency Codes: Generate a one-time use emergency code to allow access if your device is lost.
Multisite Compatible: Compatible with WordPress multisite networks and sub-sites.
Support for login forms: Support for WooCommerce and Affiliates-WP, Elementor Pro, bbPress and all third-party login forms without any further coding needed. Also compatible with ‘Theme my Login’

SMART 404 BLOCKING (PREMIUM ONLY)

404 errors occur when someone legitimately mistypes a URL, but they’re also generated by hackers searching for security weaknesses in your site.

Block bots producing 404s: All-In-One Security Premium automatically and permanently blocks IP addresses of bots and hackers based on how many 404 errors they generate.
Reporting: Handy charts keep you informed of how many 404s have occurred and which IP address or country is producing them

COUNTRY BLOCKING (PREMIUM ONLY)

Most security attacks come from a handful of countries and so it’s possible to prevent most attacks with our country blocking tool.
* Block traffic based on country of origin: All-In-One Security Premium utilises an IP database that promises 99.5% accuracy.
* Block traffic to specific pages: Block access to your whole WordPress site or on a page-by-page basis.
* Whitelist some users from blocked countries: Whitelist IP addresses or IP ranges even if they are part of a blocked country.

PREMIUM SUPPORT

Authors:

Contributers: loginizer

MD5 Checksum – of Core WordPress Files. The admin can check and ignore files as well.
PasswordLess Login – At the time of Login, the username / email address will be asked and an email will be sent to the email address of that account with a temporary link to login.
Two Factor Auth via Email – On login, an email will be sent to the email address of that account with a temporary 6 digit code to complete the login.
Two Factor Auth via App – The user can configure the account with a 2FA App like Google Authenticator, Authy, etc.

Rename Login Page – The Admin can rename the login URL (slug) to something different from wp-login.php to prevent automated brute force attacks.
Rename WP-Admin URL – The Admin area in WordPress is accessed via wp-admin. With loginizer you can change it to anything e.g. site-admin
CSRF Protection – This helps in preventing CSRF attacks as it updates the admin URL with a session string which makes it difficult and nearly impossible for the attacker to predict the URL.
Rename Login with Secrecy – If set, then all Login URL’s will still point to wp-login.php and users will have to access the New Login Slug by typing it in the browser.
Disable XML-RPC – An option to simply disable XML-RPC in WordPress. Most of the WordPress users don’t need XML-RPC and can disable it to prevent automated brute force attacks.
Rename XML-RPC – The Admin can rename the XML-RPC to something different from xmlrpc.php to prevent automated brute force attacks.
Username Auto Blacklist – Attackers generally use common usernames like admin, administrator, or variations of your domain name / business name. You can specify such username here and Loginizer will auto-blacklist the IP Address(s) of clients who try to use such username(s).
New Registration Domain Blacklist – If you would like to ban new registrations from a particular domain, you can use this utility to do so.
Change the Admin Username – The Admin can rename the admin username to something more difficult.
Auto Blacklist IPs – IPs will be auto blacklisted, if certain usernames saved by the Admin are used to login by malicious bots / users.
Disable Pingbacks – Simple way to disable PingBacks.
Limit Concurrent Logins: It prevents user to login from different devices concurrently, you can define how many devices you want to allow, and how you want to restrict the user when concurrent limit is reached.

Blocks IP after maximum retries allowed
Extended Lockout after maximum lockouts allowed
Email notification to admin after max lockouts

EWWW Image Optimizer

Authors:

Contributers: nosilver4u

Charts and Tracking Description >>

Are you frustrated by a slow website? Do over-sized images make you say “ewww”… Let EWWW Image Optimizer help you make your site faster, improve your bounce rate, and boost your SEO. But most importantly, make your visitors happier so they keep coming back for more.

With EWWW IO you can optimize all your existing images, from any plugin, and then let EWWW IO take care of new image uploads automatically.

Why use EWWW Image Optimizer?

No Speed Limits and unlimited file size.
Smooth Handling with pixel-perfect optimization using industry-leading tools and progressive rendering.
High Torque as we bring you the best compression/quality ratio available with our Premium compression for JPG, PNG, and PDF files.
Adaptive Steering with intelligent conversion options to get the right image format for the job (JPG, PNG, GIF, or WebP).
Free Parking The core plugin is free and always will be. However, our paid services offer up to 80% compression, and a host of other features!
Comprehensive Coverage: no image gets left behind, optimize everything on your site, not just the WordPress Media Library.
Safety First: all communications are secured with top SSL encryption.
Roadside Assistance: top-notch support is in our DNA. While API customers get top priority, we answer every single support question with care.
Pack a Spare: free image backups store your original images for 30 days.

EWWW IO is the only plugin that lets you optimize images using tools on your own server (jpegtran, optipng, pngout, pngquant, gifsicle, cwebp). If you feel the need for more speed, get more compression and offload the CPU-intensive process of optimization to our specialized servers.

Automatic Everything

With Easy IO, images are automatically compressed, scaled to fit the page and device size, lazy loaded, and converted to the next-gen WebP format.

Support

Stuck? Feeling like maybe you DO need that rocket science degree? We provide free one-on-one email support to everyone.
Do you have an idea to make EWWW IO even better? Share it and vote on future features!
Found a bug? Report the issue on GitHub, and we’ll get it fixed!

Bulk Optimize

Optimize all your images from a single page. This includes the Media Library, your theme, and a handful of pre-configured folders (see Optimize Everything Else below). GRAND FlaGallery, NextCellent and NextGEN have their own Bulk Optimize pages.

Optimize Everything Else

Configure any folder within your WordPress install to be optimized. The Bulk Optimizer will compress theme images, BuddyPress avatars, BuddyPress Activity Plus images, Meta Slider slides, WP Symposium Pro avatars, GD bbPress attachments, Grand Media Galleries, and any user-specified folders. You can also use Scheduled optimization or run the optimizer from WP-CLI if that’s more your thing.

Plugin Compatibility

EWWW IO has been tested with hundreds (if not thousands) of plugins and themes, here are just a few of the most common ones: BuddyPress (Activity Plus add-on too), Cloudinary, Easy Watermark, FileBird, FooGallery, GD bbPress Attachments, GRAND FlAGallery, Gmedia Photo Gallery, MediaPress, Meta Slider, Microsoft Azure Storage, MyArcadePlugin, NextGEN Gallery, Regenerate Thumbnails, Weglot, WP Offload Media, WPML, WP Retina 2x, WP RSS Aggregator, WP Symposium. Read more…

WebP Images

If you want simple, get automatic WebP conversion with Easy IO, and be done with it! Otherwise, you can generate WebP versions of your images with the Bulk Optimizer, and deliver them to supported browsers. Take your pick between Apache-style rewrite rules, JS WebP Rewriting, and WebP Rewriting. EWWW IO even works with the WebP option in the Cache Enabler plugin from KeyCDN.

WP-CLI

Allows you to run all Bulk Optimization processes from your command line, instead of the web interface. It is much faster, and allows you to do things like run it in ‘screen’ or via regular cron (instead of wp-cron, which can be unpredictable on low-traffic sites). Install WP-CLI from wp-cli.org, and run ‘wp-cli.phar help ewwwio optimize’ for more information or see the Docs.

CDN Support

WP Offload Media is the officially supported (and recommended) plugin for uploads to Amazon S3, Digital Ocean Spaces, and Google Cloud Storage. Check our compatibility list for details on other plugins. All pull mode CDNs like Cloudflare, KeyCDN, MaxCDN, and Sucuri CloudProxy work automatically, but will require you to purge the cache after a bulk optimization.

Authors:

Contributers: OptinMonster Syed Balkhi Thomas Griffin

🤩 Make popups & optin forms to get more email newsletter subscribers, leads, and sales – #1 most popular popup builder plugin! 🚀

The Best WordPress Popup Builder and Email Newsletter Popup Plugin

OptinMonster is the best popup builder and marketing plugin that helps you get more email subscribers, increase sales, and grow your business.

With the OptinMonster popup builder and conversion toolkit, you can turn abandoning website visitors into subscribers and customers.

OptinMonster’s easy to use popup maker allows you to create beautiful popup campaigns, email subscription forms, sticky announcement bars like hello bar, gamified spin-a-wheel opt-n forms, and other types of interactive popups for your site in minutes, not hours!

Your visitor’s experience is our #1 priority. OptinMonster’s campaigns won’t annoy your visitors like other WordPress popup plugins do. Our smart targeting and personalization features let you show the right message, to the right user, at the right time…no unwanted interruptions necessary.

We also offer mobile popups so your marketing messages will always look great on all devices (mobile, tablet, laptop, and desktop).

And we understand the importance of speed when it comes SEO, marketing, and conversion optimization. This is why we made sure that the OptinMonster popup builder is optimized for both web and server performance.

On top of offering the absolute best WordPress popup plugin, our Customer Success team is here to ensure you WIN, and win MORE OFTEN.

The best optin plugin!
“Truly amazing. The number of options is great and allows to make campaigns that have the right balance between efficiency and not being too annoying. OptinMonster is constantly evolving and adding useful features, really well integrated with a lot of tools (especially a lot of autoresponders and Google Analytics to measure conversions), and customer support is great. What more to ask ?” ~@giantjack

OptinMonster App
OptinMonster is a SaaS service and requires an OptinMonster account. When you install this plugin, you’ll have the opportunity to register for a free account that includes 3 campaigns and up to 500 campaign impressions. Those 500 pageview credits will NEVER expire, and you’ll only be upgraded if you use all of those credits during the lifetime of your account. It’s perfect for getting started and learning your way around! Or, if you already have an OptinMonster subscription, you can simply connect this plugin to it.

When you’re ready to truly explode your email list growth, we recommend getting started with OptinMonster Pro to access more advanced solutions like Exit-Intent, Campaign Scheduling, Countdown Timers and more.

We took the pain out of creating highly personalized marketing campaigns with our easy to use popup maker. Here’s why smart business owners, designers, and developers love OptinMonster marketing toolkit, and you will too!

Easy Popup Builder From OptinMonster Increase Conversions

Lightbox Popups – Easily create custom popups to grow your email list, show coupons, make a WooCommerce cross-sell or WooCommerce upsell campaign, and more using our popup maker.
Floating Bar Popups – Create sticky header bars (also known as hello bar or floating footer bar) to show free shipping notices, website announcement alert, sale countdown timer, and more using our popup builder.
Slide-in Popups – Create scroll box popups that slide out from bottom of the screen to highlight related WooCommerce products, related posts, and coupon codes to reduce cart abandonment.
Fullscreen Welcome Mats – Create full screen popups (also known as interstitials or welcome mats) to get maximum conversions with our popup builder. Great for getting new subscribers and marketing new products.
Gamified Spin a Wheel Popup – Create coupon wheel optins to increase WooCommerce conversions with gamification. This adds an interactive element that’s proven to increase sales and lead generation.
Inline Signup Forms – Unlike a popup, inline newsletter signup forms can be embedded inside your blog posts / page content. You can also use it to add an email opt-in form or custom call-to-action button (CTA) after your blog posts.
Sidebar Subscribe Forms – Similar to Inline Signup Forms, sidebar opt-in forms lets you add an email newsletter signup form in your blog’s sidebar to get more subscribers. We even made it easy to do if you’re using Gutenberg Blocks.
Content Locker Popups – Content lockers turn any popular blog post into gated content, so you can get more email subscribers and boost marketing conversions. Turn any inline campaign into a content locker with our easy to use popup maker.
Countdown Timers – Boost urgency and scarcity for limited time offers with countdown timers (great for sales promotion, live events, webinars, and product launches). You can even create evergreen countdown timers to increase sales conversion.
Yes / No Popups – Allows you to create multi-step campaigns and opt-in forms that results in better list segmentation and higher marketing conversions.
Mobile Popups – Unlike the other WordPress popup maker plugins, OptinMonster also lets you create mobile-specific popups that are only shown to users on smart phones and tablets. Great for mobile app downloads or making specific offers to your mobile visitors.
Canvas Custom Popup – Our blank Canvas popup template allows you to create completely custom campaigns using our drag & drop popup builder for any use case.

Our Drag and Drop Popup Maker Makes It Easy

We were tired of the bloated and slow popup builder plugins. That’s why we built OptinMonster to adapt to your marketing workflow and allow you to create custom popups, newsletter opt-in forms, slide-ins, announcement bars, and other high converting lead generation forms within minutes.

By using our drag & drop editor, you can easily customize the look and feel of your campaigns, and even add dynamic elements like countdown timers, spin a wheel, etc that change based on user behavior (no code necessary).

But don’t just take our word. See what Joost De Valk from Yoast SEO is saying:

I was once a disbeliever myself. I didn’t like popups at all. But we doubled our email signups, so the results speak for themselves, it just works. OptinMonster makes it super easy and is well worth the money.
Joost de Valk, Founder of Yoast SEO (See Case Study)

Pre-built Popup Templates using our Popup Builder

OptinMonster comes with hundreds of popup templates to help you save time. See our exit popup template gallery.

I have never before seen such effectiveness and efficiency in an optin tool than I have with OptinMonster. In under 2 hours of work, I doubled my daily optin rates thanks to OptinMonster’s incredible options.

Exit Intent Popups and OnSite Retargeting

Did you know that over 70% of visitors abandoning your website will never return?

OptinMonster’s signature exit-intent popup technology can help you convert abandoning visitors into subscribers and customers.

With exit intent popups, your visitors see a targeted popup message at the precise moment they are about to leave.

Exit popups are proven to convert an additional 2 – 4% of your visitors into email subscribers and paying customers.

You can use exit intent popups combined with OnSite retargeting to show different popup messages to new visitors vs returning visitors. The exit-intent trigger is just one of many triggers available in our popup maker.

These advanced popup triggers are highly effective in growing your email list, reducing WooCommerce cart abandonment, and saving you moeny on PPC advertising and retargeting ads.

In only 7 months, we added more than 95,000 names to our email list using OptinMonster’s Exit Intent™ technology. We strongly recommend it!
Michael Stelzner, Founder of Social Media Examiner (See Case Study)

Smart Page Targeting and Behavior Based Personalization

All OptinMonster popups comes with advanced page targeting and behavior based personalization.

This means you can show a custom popup for specific page or section of your site, show a custom popup based on users’ geolocation, show a custom popup when users click a specific link, and more.

You can even show unique popups based on user’s past behavior such as: have they clicked on an existing marketing popup, seen another popup campaign, closed a marketing popup, viewed X number of pages, etc.

These personalization features of OptinMonster popups make them highly effective in improving your lead generation, increasing subscribers, and growing sales.

Using OptinMonster, I was able to increase sales $55,000 after capturing nearly 7% more leads with a single optin!

Popup A/B Testing, Email Marketing Integrations, and Popup Analytics

Unlike other WordPress lead generation plugins, OptinMonster comes with reliable A/B split testing and accurate analytics without slowing down your site.

Most of them use wp-ajax to setup nalytics. This slows down your site and also results in unreliable analytics due to cache plugin settings.

Similarly, A/B testing in a most WordPress popup plugins is broken because caching plugins can skew the data.

We fixed both these issues with our superior infrastructure, so you can have reliable A/B testing for popups, accurate conversion analytics, and seamless email marketing / CRM integrations for your marketing (bonus: lead storage & lead backup are now included, too).

Since we started using OptinMonster our email list conversion rate increased by 300% and our sales by 20%. The best investment you can make for your online business!

Notes

OptinMonster is hands down the best WordPress popup plugin on the market. No other WordPress popup builder plugin, opt-in form plugin, or lead generation solution even comes close to OptinMonster and the features it offers.

We took the pain out of creating powerful popups and made it easy.

Also I’m the founder of several popular online businesses, so it was a huge priority for me to make a WordPress popup builder plugin that can help us grow our subscribers & sales.

I feel that we have done that. I hope you enjoy using OptinMonster.

Thank you,
Syed Balkhi
