Admin Customizations

Plugins Management

  • One Click Plugin Updater
    Single-click plugin upgrades in WP 2.3 and up. The techniques that this plugin uses are slightly different from the built-in plugin upgrade feature in WP 2.5, so it’s possible that on some blogs the plugin updater works and the built-in updater doesn’t (or vice versa).
    Contrary to WordPress own updater does not require ftp access and can thus be used on a local test installation.

Backend

Cache

  • * WP Super Cache
    This plugin generates static html files from your dynamic WordPress blog. After a html file is generated your webserver will serve that file instead of processing the comparatively heavier and more expensive WordPress PHP scripts

DB Search/Replace

  • Search and Replace
    A simple search for find strings in your database and replace the string.
  • * Search Regex
    Search Regex adds a powerful set of search and replace functions to WordPress. These go beyond the standard searching capabilities, and allow you to search and replace almost any data stored on your site. In addition to simple searches you have the full power of PHP’s regular expressions at your disposal.
    (has also a preview modus)

Maintain

  • * Maintenance Mode
    Adds a splash page to your blog that lets visitors know your blog is down for maintenance. Logged in administrators get full access to the blog including the front-end.
  • Site Maintenance
    Puts the site into maintenance mode by sending a ‘503 Service Unavailable’ status to all unauthenticated clients.

Backup / Database

  • * WP-DBManager
    Manages your WordPress database. Allows you to optimize database, repair database, backup database, restore database, delete backup database , drop/empty tables and run selected queries. Supports automatic scheduling of backing up and optimizing of database.
  • Optimize DB
    Lets you optimize your WordPress database tables with one click
    (Maybe functional duplicate of WP-DBManager)

Other

  • * o42-clean-umlauts (converts german umlaut chars into correct web chars. Mainly a bug-fixing plugin.)
  • * Disable WPAUTOP
    Disables the wpautop function for thecontent and theexcerpt.
    In WordPress the code editor enhances the user input with standard HTML Tags such a p and br. If you want to have full control over the code this plugin is required.
