Techie Buzz: New Plugin Ideas for WordPress

  • TechZilo · 2 years ago
    Maybe you could create some plugins which "nofollow" all links in sidebar.

    after all, sidebars are repeating, and if all links add up, PR loss would be huge. currently, i do it manually but it would be useful to have a plugin for those who dont know it.

    What about a plugin that automatically sends (forces) trackback URLs to ping the original blogs?

    @Techzilo thanks for your suggestion

    @pelf Yea I will try and do something like that once I finish the current plugin I am working on

    Here's another one - a plugin to automatically backup all "Upload" files.

    I believe there's no such plugin currently. If you know of any such plugin, please let me know.

    Hey Keith, hope you are doing well..
    One of the things that I struggle with in Wordpress is the changing the footer section. You may know the importance of footer from SEO perspective.
    It would be great if there is a plug-in that kind of adds widgets (Like Sidebar) to your theme.
    You could add stuff to your footer like your widgetized sidebar. I ma not sure if one can take a plugin route to achieve this, or it has to be done strictly while designing the these....
    If you can, give it a try, I bet it will be quite popular....
    Thanks

    The ad rotator plugin can be used for rotating your footers. I use it to display random Einstein quotes on my footer.

    There's a category filter plugin that works, but is overkill for what I would want it for. I want to filter any articles from my feed within specific categories only. This is to prevent things like sponsored posts from making it to the feed. It could be based on category or on a trigger string within the content itself.

    First of all your sticky note is great, mind if I steal the idea?

    Secondly,
    I think a great plugin would be something like the feature plugin:
    http://no.oneslistening.com/160
    but more robust. If you look at the post on my site, I have title banners for 'pillar' posts. Would I'd love to do is have a plugin that could display a random title banner image, linked to that post, from a collection of 'feature' posts that I have picked out.
    Currently I'm planning on just hardcoding it in, but I think a plugin would be great.

    Thanks everyone for your suggestions I am currently working on a plugin which should be complete by this weekend, After that I will start working on other ideas that you have given me here.

    Hi Keith,

    I have enjoyed your plugins so well earlier and am looking forward to use many more from you. Great work!

    Here's my idea

    - To have a plugin that will show some posts from the blog in the Adsense ads format on the same blog.

    Say you have picked 10 posts, they should appear in the same rectangle/banner format the adsense ads appear on your blog.

    The idea is that people will stop avoiding clicking adsense ads.

    Cheers!
