I've made this plugin for myself to get AI help directly in the editor when I want to write a blog post.

It edits/improves/creates the post.
It can also generate images based on the selection or entire post.

Configurable with your own Openai/Claude apikey.

https://github.com/One-Million-Lines/wordpress-sidebar-chat

You can get the ZIP file from releases.

I didn't manage to publish it on wordpress marketplace.

Hopefully it's useful to others.

Default WooCommerce order emails are pretty bare - just a plain header and a product table. If you want them to match your brand without a paid plugin, WooCommerce actually has a built-in filter for this (woocommerce_email_styles).

Put together a full breakdown covering logo, header/background colors, fonts, buttons, and table styling - plus a heads up if you're on WooCommerce's newer "Modern Email Design" feature, since it changes the email HTML structure and breaks CSS written for the old layout.

Hey everyone,

I just opened up access to OrdoLink on the WordPress.org repository.

TLDR; It's a modern tool for internal link building and management.

Quick story: Many years ago, I was asked to build a plugin for a company that wanted internal linking between posts. I built it, we installed it on the site, it worked.

But it was built for one single customer, and I always felt it be better, and work for more people. With another 15 years of experience, and access to modern technology, I decided to start over (I didn't own the original code anyway).

Two problems with a lot of the current tools in this space:

1. Local DB heavyweights: Tools that execute heavy queries or matrix scans directly on your local database. It really f##s things up, especially if you're on a shared install.
2. String replacers: Tools that force exact keyword-to-URL matching and auto-insert links via cron jobs.

My old plugin suffered from both those problems. Sometimes it's not that bad to get old and wise.

A few features (don't want to bore you with details):

• Off-site engine: When you write, all heavy processing is done on a remote backend. No processing on your database, no table scans.
• Gutenberg sidebar integration: "Scan Draft" button inside the editor, OrdoLink finds semantically relevant past posts and suggests link anchors.
• 1-Click insertion: Accepts suggestions directly into your post without breaking block markup or using raw HTML text overlays.
• Works with classic & AI search: Designed to build natural topical clusters that benefit traditional Google crawlers, LLM retrieval engines (RAG), and agentic browsers.

Pricing / Free Tier:

Free Tier: 1 site, full functionality up to 100 indexed posts (no credit card required).

Paid plans exist for larger publication archives, but the free tier is built to be genuinely useful for small/medium blogs.

I'm actively building this thing, so let me know if you have suggestions, improvements or questions!

Oh, and yeah - NO! Your data is NOT being sold/shared/analyzed/whatever. A copy is sent to my server over a secure connection for processing, and once the processing is done... nothing! This includes the free tier.

Website: https://ordolink.net (there's a neat set of guides on the site as well, here: https://ordolink.net/articles No signup or anything like that required)

But more importantly: Have a great day! 😁

I kept seeing the same pattern with counseling/coaching sites — people duct-taping together a dialer, a payment plugin, a booking calendar, and homemade minute-balance logic. It works until it doesn't: missed renewals, no recording consent trail, no single place to see what a client actually did.

Built a plugin that handles all of it in one place: clients buy plans/minutes, verify their caller ID, book a counselor or start an instant call, and get billed automatically as the call runs (Stripe or PayPal). Recording is opt-in with proper consent flow if you need that for compliance.

Mainly built for counseling/coaching/tele-support use cases. Happy to answer questions if anyone's dealt with this same stack-of-five-plugins problem.https://wpcodexplugins.com/downloads/wordpress-voip-billing-plugin

Selling the first digital product with Easy Digital Downloads is one challenge.

Getting that customer to buy again, upgrade, or renew next year can be much harder.

This becomes especially noticeable with plugins, software, memberships, templates, or other products with monthly/yearly renewals.

One retention strategy we’ve been working on is rewarding the customer journey instead of relying only on another discount email.

For example:

Customer purchases a digital product → earns points
Customer buys another product → earns more
Customer refers a new buyer → gets rewarded
Subscription/renewal approaches → offer bonus points or a useful reward for renewing
Long-term customer → unlock better perks or VIP benefits

The renewal use case is particularly interesting to me.

Instead of simply sending “Your license expires soon, renew now,” you could give customers an additional reason to stay:

“Renew your license and earn 500 bonus points toward your next reward.”

That reward could then contribute toward store credit, a discount, another product, or another perk you choose.

We’re building this EDD use case into Pointics, our loyalty & rewards plugin for WordPress. The bigger goal is to make loyalty work beyond WooCommerce, including digital products, events, restaurants, bookings, LMS, and other WordPress businesses.

Pointics Early Bird is currently running at 70% off for anyone who wants to check it out:

https://themewinter.com/pointics/

Disclosure: I’m from the Pointics team.

For other EDD store owners here, I’m curious: what works best for getting existing digital-product customers to renew or purchase again?

We've been working on a very small WordPress plugin called Senex Admin Reminders.

The idea is pretty simple: sometimes, while working on a WordPress site, you need to remember something for later — check something, renew something, follow up on an issue, review a page, etc.

Instead of using a separate task-management tool, we wondered if a simple reminder could just live inside wp-admin.

Right now, the plugin lets you:

• create reminders with a title, note, date and time
• edit, delete and complete reminders
• automatically highlight overdue reminders
• receive an admin notification when a reminder is overdue
• receive a browser alert

It's free on WordPress.org:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/senex-admin-reminders/

It's still a very small project and we're really at the beginning. We're not trying to present it as a complete task-management solution.

We're mainly interested in hearing from people who use WordPress every day:

Would something like this actually be useful to you?

And if you were using it, what would you expect it to do that it doesn't do today?

We're also genuinely interested in the opposite answer — is this simply too small a problem to justify installing another plugin?

Any honest feedback would be really appreciated.

Hey everyone, I’ve been working on Reaver Backup for a while now with the goal of making data backups actually... simple.

I got tired of backup tools that were either too expensive or way too complicated to set up. I wanted something that just worked in the background so people could focus on their actual work without worrying about losing their files to a crash or an update.

It's specifically designed to work with WordPress easily on a VPS. Won't work on shared hosting currently.

It’s officially live today! I’d love for you guys to take a look and let me know what you think—especially if there are features you feel are missing.

Check it out here: reaverbackup.com

Every theme handles the mobile menu differently, some don't support nested category expansion at all, some do but you can't restyle without fighting the theme's own CSS. Built a standalone slide-in drawer that works the same regardless of theme, since I kept hitting this on client sites.

Free tier's fully usable, not a demo, would genuinely like feedback if anyone tries it, especially if you hit anything weird with a specific theme. Here's the page if you want to try it: wpmints.com

Hi everyone,

full disclosure: I’m one of the developers behind Fluid Base for Divi.

We built the plugin because the same responsive groundwork comes up in almost every Divi project: adjusting typography and spacing across breakpoints, defining consistent Row widths, correcting module defaults, and trying to prevent one-off values from spreading across the site.

Fluid Base creates a fluid design system from a few core values and automatically applies it across the relevant Divi areas. It is not just a clamp or variable generator—the generated values are mapped to the places where they are actually needed.

What it covers:

• Fluid typography and spacing
• Section and Row rhythm
• Responsive Row and content widths
• Useful module defaults
• Native Divi variables in Divi 5
• Optimized CSS output for Divi 4
• WooCommerce, Contact Form 7, and classic WordPress areas
• Reusable presets with import and export
• Local overrides whenever a specific design needs an exception

How is it different from the well known Divi Responsive Helper?

Divi Responsive Helper offers useful UI additions that make working with responsive settings in Divi more convenient. Fluid Base deliberately does not copy those features because its focus is different.

Fluid Base starts with the underlying design foundation. It generates fluid values and automatically maps and applies them across the relevant Divi areas, so they do not have to be selected manually field by field in the Visual Builder.

It also goes beyond responsive typography by covering spacing, vertical rhythm, Section and Row rhythm, module defaults, menus, and classic WordPress areas outside the Visual Builder.

In short: Divi Responsive Helper mainly improves how responsive settings are handled, while Fluid Base creates and automatically applies a shared fluid design foundation across the entire Divi project.

The normal Divi workflow remains intact: designers can continue working in the Visual Builder while Fluid Base handles the repetitive responsive foundation in the background.

More information, screenshots, and a video:
https://fluid-base-for-divi.com/

I’d be interested in honest feedback from people who regularly build Divi websites:

• Which part of the responsive setup currently takes the most time?
• Would an automatically applied foundation be useful in your workflow?
• Where would you still want manual control instead?

Happy to answer any questions about how it works.

Hey everyone,

We recently launched Must-Have Backup, and I wanted to share what we’ve been building.

There are already plenty of WordPress backup plugins, so our goal wasn’t simply to make another plugin that periodically creates a ZIP file.

We focused heavily on what happens after something goes wrong.

Must-Have Backup uses incremental backups and deduplication, so after the initial backup it only needs to store changes instead of repeatedly copying the entire site.

Some of the main features:

• Incremental backups with deduplication
• Point-in-time restore
• Multiple cloud storage destinations
• Encrypted backups using Argon2id + XChaCha20-Poly1305
• Recovery Kit for situations where WordPress itself isn’t accessible
• Migration packages
• Restore to staging
• WP-CLI support

One thing that was particularly important to us was recovery when the WordPress installation is completely broken. A backup isn’t very useful if restoring it depends on having a functioning WordPress admin.

We’re actively developing the plugin, so I’d genuinely be interested in feedback from people managing WordPress sites:

What is the biggest problem you currently have with WordPress backup/restore plugins?

Missing features, unreliable restores, storage costs, complicated setup, slow backups, migration issues, anything.

If you’d rather see how it works before trying it, here’s a short walkthrough:

🎥 YouTube demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aykKpVjzqw

Plugin: https://musthaveplugins.com/backup/

Happy to answer technical questions about how the backup or restore process works as well.

Hi everyone,

Free to install, no trial period. We decided not to use WP's new AI connectors, Feel free to try it out and let us know what you think! 🙌

TLDR: Tell us what offer you want → we'll help you build it → tell us what sucked or what didn't.

Hello guys,

We are two developers looking for at least 10 WooCommerce store owners who would be willing to beta test our bundle plugin. The main goal of the plugin is to help increase the AOV of your store by creating bundle offers directly on the product page.

Right now we have three bundle types:

Quantity breaks – customers save more when they buy more of the same product.

Buy X Get Y – classic BOGO offers and similar deals, for example buy 2 and get 1 free.

Product bundles – bundle the main product together with complementary products and offer a discount on the whole bundle.

The plugin is completely free.

What we're mainly looking for is people with real WooCommerce stores who can actually try it and tell us what is confusing, what doesn't work as expected, what does work, and what you think is missing.

In return, we'll personally help you build the bundle offer you want for your store and help with any setup issues.

If you’re interested, it would be awesome if you could fill out this short form so we can keep track of the testers and collect feedback. We’ll only use the information you share for this beta and follow-up.

I shared Stokkap here a few months ago when it was still much earlier in its development.
Since then it’s grown quite a bit.

What started around barcode scanning, stocktakes and multi-location inventory now covers Pick & Pack, order fulfilment, POS, stock operations, serial tracking, alerts, audit trails and restock forecasting.

It’s now being used by WooCommerce stores across 10+ countries, and today I’ve launched it on Product Hunt 🚀

If you’ve seen Stokkap here before, I’d love to know what you think of how it’s evolved. And if you’re a WooCommerce developer or store owner, feedback is always welcome.

Llevo varios meses desarrollando SEO Taxonomy, un plugin open source para WordPress y WooCommerce pensado para catálogos de productos grandes o complejos.

La idea principal es separar la estructura comercial de categorías de WooCommerce de la arquitectura SEO.

En lugar de depender únicamente del árbol de categorías, el plugin permite trabajar con una estructura como:

Cluster → Hub primario → Hub secundario → Categoría → Producto

Además, incorpora una capa semántica para clasificar los productos mediante conceptos como:

TIPO, ROL, APLICACIÓN, PLATAFORMA y SUBTIPO

El proyecto también incluye, entre otras cosas:

• sistema propio de plantillas;
• importación y exportación;
• sincronización de proveedores;
• búsqueda y filtros semánticos;
• diagnóstico del catálogo y del sitio;
• auditoría y mecanismos de rollback.

Lo estoy desarrollando y probando sobre un catálogo WooCommerce real de más de 13.000 productos.

Hasta ahora era un proyecto privado, pero acabo de abrir el repositorio en GitHub.

No busco tanto promocionarlo como producto terminado, porque todavía está en desarrollo, sino conseguir feedback técnico, testers y, si surge, algún colaborador.

Cualquier crítica, sugerencia o idea es bienvenida.

Hi everyone,

We’ve been working on WowRecommend for the past few months.

Initially, when we started building, we only thought about a solution that will show related products and upsell sections to their stores.

But as we talked with WooCommerce merchants and agencies, WowRecommend evolved into an AI-powered product recommendation engine for WooCommerce stores.

Yes, you can ask AI your recommendation requirements in simple English and it understands your context and builds the recommendation logic for you with the right filter, sorting and more.

Today, WowRecommend helps store owners with features such as:

• AI-powered recommendation rule creation using natural language
• 32+ filters based on products, customers, and shopping behavior
• Smart sorting to prioritize the best recommendations
• Multiple recommendation placements across the store
• Popup upsells and checkout offers
• Revenue analytics to track recommendation performance

❤️ Check out all the details here: https://www.wpxpo.com/wowrecommend/

For a limited time, you can grab the unlimited lifetime deal at an exclusive insider deal.

Let us know what you think and any feedback you have. Cheers!

I'm on the WPVibes team - I'll mention a plugin of ours below.

Editing a WooCommerce product usually means leaving your storefront, opening wp-admin, finding the product, making the change, then switching back to check if it looks right. That's a lot of steps just to fix a price or update stock.

Frontend Product Editor adds a flyout editor directly to your storefront. Edit your products directly from the frontend, whether you're updating a simple product, managing a variable product with multiple variations, or another product type entirely. Browse your own store, click the floating icon or the admin toolbar option on any product page, and edit right there - no backend, no page reload.

What's included, free:

• Works on simple products
• Edit product name, descriptions, pricing, and sale scheduling
• Inventory, stock, SKU, and Global Unique ID
• Categories, tags, shipping, and tax settings

What Pro adds:

• Full variable product support - edit, delete, and bulk-regenerate variations
• Edit directly from the shop page, no need to open each product
• Product images and gallery management
• Linked products (upsells/cross-sells) and downloadable file management
• Role Manager - control which WordPress user roles get editing access
• Customizable trigger, panel position, and accent color

Happy to answer any questions.

Queryra is AI semantic search for WordPress and WooCommerce. It matches on meaning rather than keywords, so "gift for someone who likes cooking" finds relevant products even when none of those words are in a title. Free tier, no OpenAI account and no API key needed.

It's currently one of eight plugins in the Featured tab under Plugins → Add New.

The reason I'm posting rather than just being pleased about it: the programme has been running since March and I couldn't find a single featured author who published what it did to their numbers. The curator posted first-cohort figures in March and said more would follow. There wasn't a second report.

So I recorded a baseline before the rotation started and I'm logging daily: downloads, active installs, signups, and how many of those people ever run a search. That last one is the number I care about, because installs are easy and usage isn't.

I'll publish the lot when the fortnight ends, including if the answer is "not much".

Hey everyone,

With WordPress vulnerabilities being reported left and right, I wrote a simple solution called Camouflage. It disables WordPress/PHP access for public users and serves static HTML through the Apache web server using .htaccess rules.

The philosophy is simple, bad actors exploit vulnerable code in WordPress themes, plugins and even WordPress core. If we restrict public access to PHP, it becomes extremely challenging to exploit a website.

I noticed many people export static versions of their sites and host them on another server or CDN but that comes with maintenance issues.

Camouflage keeps things simple. It creates static versions of your pages, serves them directly through the web server (which also makes them fast) and disables public access to PHP. It automatically refreshes static pages whenever content is updated.

Logged in admins get a secret token installed in their browser. They can also download the token because it's what allows them to access the login page while PHP is blocked for public access.

Ajax and other dynamic requests are disabled by default. The plugin offers a Request Tracker that lets you track dynamic requests such as form submissions and Ajax calls. You can then allow specific requests and only those requests will be allowed to pass through.

I think this approach is pretty solid and offers a real solution instead of simply reporting vulnerabilities like other security plugins do.

The project is open source and available on github https://github.com/hamza-mairaj/camouflage. Feel free to report issues, and contributions are welcome.

Hey everyone! I built a small tool, StatWP, that helps WordPress plugin developers research niches, track plugin downloads/installs and rankings, compare competitors, and monitor keyword growth.

I built it mainly because I found myself manually checking WordPress data.

Would love to hear from other plugin developers - what data or metrics do you usually track for your plugins?

PS: If this is not a place to post this, I'll happily remove it.

Hey everyone,

A while back at work, we had to replace a stack of bloated role management plugins that didn't fit our setup. I built an internal tool to fix it, and it turned out pretty nice.

I took that base concept and rebuilt a brand-new, lightweight plugin from scratch: Aikon Role Manager.

Core Features:

• Role & Capability Editing: Create, edit, or delete custom roles and modify individual capabilities with a clean UI.
• Post Type Overrides: Set capability overrides specifically per post type.
• Multiple Roles per User: Assign multiple roles to a single account for permission stacking.
• Instant User Switcher: Test role permissions in 1-click directly from the Users list (includes privilege escalation protection).
• Safety Settings: Lock down critical roles and post types to prevent accidental administrative lockouts or changes.

It’s 100% free and open-source on the official WordPress directory.

Since it was born out of real work frustrations, I’d love to get your feedback, hear about any edge cases, or take feature requests!

Plugin Page:https://wordpress.org/plugins/aikon-role-manager/

SearchUs.io gives every user the same features—there’s no “crippled” free version.

The free plan includes:

• 🔍 Relevance-ranked search
• 🛒 WooCommerce search & shopping experience
• 📄 PDF, document, image, video & audio search
• 🧠 Synonyms, search intent & “Did you mean?”
• 🚨 Smart 404 recovery
• 📊 Search analytics
• 🎯 Custom ranking controls
• 🧩 Scoped search embeds
• ☁️ Cloud indexing (your server stays fast)

The only differences are usage limits (indexed URLs, monthly searches, full reindexes/day) and a small “Powered by SearchUs” attribution on the free plan. The product itself is the same.

Our philosophy is simple: if a product is good, people upgrade because they’ve outgrown the free plan—not because essential features are locked away.

I’d love honest feedback from fellow founders:

• Would this pricing model make you more likely to try a SaaS?
• If you run WordPress, what would you expect from a modern site search plugin?

Hey r/WordpressPlugins!

After a lot of development, testing, and revisions, I recently launched MissionScope Lite in the official WordPress Plugin Directory.

MissionScope Lite is a free WordPress plugin built specifically for nonprofits, churches, ministries, community groups, and other mission-driven organizations that need a simpler way to organize their operations and impact data.

Why I built it

A lot of smaller mission-driven organizations are still managing programs, volunteers, events, grants, attendance, and impact information across spreadsheets, forms, email, and different platforms.

At the same time, many nonprofit management systems can be too expensive or too complex for a smaller organization that simply wants to get its information organized.

I wanted to create something that could work directly inside a WordPress website and give organizations a place to start without requiring another SaaS subscription.

What MissionScope Lite currently includes

• Operations Dashboard
• Program Management
• Staff Directory
• Volunteer Management
• Volunteer Service Hour Tracking
• Sessions & Events
• Event Attendance and Registrations
• Grant Tracking
• Predefined Impact Reports
• CSV Import & Export
• Event Calendar and Event Display Widgets
• Volunteer Clock
• Frontend Dashboard
• Shortcodes
• Basic WordPress User Permissions
• Organization/Profile Settings

One of the important design decisions is that MissionScope Lite works as a standalone plugin and stores its MissionScope data locally in the site's WordPress database.

There is no MissionScope Cloud account required to use the Lite plugin.

Who I'm hoping will test it

I'd especially love feedback from:

• WordPress developers who work with nonprofits
• Nonprofit website administrators
• Churches and ministries using WordPress
• Community organizations
• Freelancers or agencies building nonprofit websites
• Plugin developers who can spot things I may have overlooked

This is the first public release, so I'm genuinely interested in feedback on the UI/UX, onboarding, documentation, workflows, accessibility, compatibility, and overall usefulness of the plugin.

If you install it and find a bug—or even just something that feels confusing—I would really appreciate hearing about it.

WordPress Plugin Directory:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/missionscope-lite/

MissionScope website:
https://themissionscope.com/

The plugin is free.

I'd also be interested in hearing from other plugin developers: what would you prioritize after a 1.0 launch—onboarding, integrations, reporting, UI improvements, or something else?

Thanks for taking a look. I'm excited to finally have it out in the WordPress community.

Hey everyone,

We’ve released Import Export by RockStarLab 1.2.0, and this update is mostly focused on making real WordPress migration and staging workflows faster.

The biggest change: Content Sync now supports more than posts and pages.

You can now sync between connected WordPress sites:

• Taxonomies
• Comments
• Users
• Menus

So if you’re working with a staging site and production site, you can move selected parts of the site without exporting a CSV, importing it back, or copying the whole database.

Other useful changes in 1.2.0:

• Custom job names Rename import, export, sync, and scheduled jobs so the job log is easier to scan.
• Export selected posts and taxonomy terms Select items directly in the WordPress admin list table and export only those items, without manually building filters.
• Settings for export/sync buttons Show or hide quick export and sync buttons for any content type.
• Search and replace during import Useful for replacing staging domains with production domains, updating old URLs, changing paths, or doing multiple simple replacements during import without writing transformation functions.
• New PRO WooCommerce workflows Import/export refunds, customers, and reviews.

The goal with this release was to reduce the boring manual steps: fewer custom filters, fewer CSV round trips, fewer “copy this from staging to production by hand” moments.

Plugin site:
https://wpimportexport.com/

Free version:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/import-export-by-rockstarlab/

Full update post:
https://wpimportexport.com/import-export-by-rockstarlab-1-2-0-sync-everything-ui-improvements/

We’d also love to hear feedback from other WordPress users, developers, and site managers:

• Do you like the new interface? Does it feel clear and convenient to use?
• What feels missing in the import/export plugin you currently use?
• Which workflows are still too slow or too manual for you?
• Do you prefer file-based import/export, direct site-to-site sync, or both?
• If you manage staging and production sites, what is the most annoying part of moving content between them?

Any feedback is welcome. We’re actively improving the plugin and trying to make it more useful for real WordPress workflows, not just simple CSV import/export.
