Relevant Search actually replaces the default WordPress search with relevant results. After testing a ton of plugins on the Tuts+ network without any luck I finally had to write one that worked. Go check for yourself, search any of the Tuts+ blogs and see this very same plugin in all it’s searching glory. The basic idea behind this plugin was to add a FULLTEXT index to the post_title & post_content and run a bit of REGEX on the search terms using that index. Then once daily the plugin will update the index with wp_schedule_event() to keep the search results from becoming corrupted or invalid. The plugin just works and does not add extra queries to your WordPress site. There’s nothing to configure, just activate, and you’re done.

This plugin takes about 10 seconds to install and it’s a breeze to use – you can even customize the map size for your site to your own dimensions. We hope you like it!

This is particularly useful when the website is running alongside a bricks and mortar store and someone purchases an item in-store and the site owner wishes to keep a record of that sale on their website. Also useful if you take orders over the phone or via the postal system. It literally takes 10 seconds to create a manual order and have it appear alongside your online sales – enter the name of the person and their e-mail address (or enter dummy data which you can use as a way to track which orders were manually created) and then select the product(s) and quantities. Done!

Unlike many social network sharing plugins, Simple Share floats just to the left of your content and scrolls with the page as readers scroll, keeping it always in view. Why does this matter? Readers have a tendency to quit reading before they get to the bottom of the post, where most social network sharing links are. Simple Share is always in view, enticing readers to share your article from the first word on.

Choose the number of stars, the default value, the color and the size of your rating items within the WYSIWYG editor, through a dead easy slider-based popup. Then let your visitors rate your posts, movies, recipies and more… In your site, every visitor will be allowed to vote only one time (IP controlled). The vote is AJAX handled: the page does not reload, but the user can see that his vote is saved. At any time you can access the statistics of all the star rating you would have posted in your site.

The slider will display the images that you have uploaded to the current post or page. If you need more options, this simple shortcode features multiple attributes that you can set. You can add controls to go back and forward on your slides, select an specific transition between images, show the image title, adjust the size of the displayed image, wrap the image with a link to the image file, adjust the transition speed, the pause between transitions, the initial delay before the first transition or exclude some selected images. Finally, if you want to change the default settings across your site, you can do so on the settings page, where you will also find all the documentation about the parameters on the WordPress contextual help at the top of the screen.

Just after spammers, Internet trolls are the most obnoxious and annoying beings in forums, boards and—yes, your weblog. They type with Caps Lock on or just alternate between lowercase and uppercase.
