WordPress 2.8 Plugins

PHP

• * Exec-PHP

  The Exec-PHP plugin executes PHP code in posts, pages and text widgets.

Page Numbers

• * WP-PageNavi

  Adds a more advanced paging navigation your WordPress blog.

  Added with

  <?php if(function_exists('wp_pagenavi')) { wp_pagenavi(); } ?>

  Can not be used in pages (does simply not display in pages)

• WP Page Numbers

  With page numbers instead of next and previous links users can easily navigate much quicker to the page they want.

  Added with

  <?php if(function_exists('wp_page_numbers')) { wp_page_numbers(); } ?>

  In principle it does the same as WP-PageNavi, but has further styling options. It displays only on index.php, archive.php, search.php ans similar ones, but does not display in case of multipage page/post entries.
• * Multi-page Toolkit Contrary to to WP Page Numbers displays page numbers only on pages/posts. Added with

   <?php if(function_exists('TA_display_pages')) { TA_display_pages(); } ?>

  for page information and for page selection with

  <?php if(function_exists('TA_content_jump')) { TA_content_jump(1);} ?>

  Unfortunately the css styling could be improved. Both wp-pagenavi and wp-page-numbers have a better css and code approach.

Contact Forms

• * WP-SpamFree

  WP-SpamFree virtually eliminates automated comment spam from bots, including trackback and pingback spam. (see website for usage)

  Added with

Captcha Extensions (Comments) / Anti Spam

• * SI CAPTCHA for WordPress

  Adds CAPTCHA anti-spam methods to WordPress on the comment form, registration form, or both. In order to post comments, users will have to type in the phrase shown on the image. This can help prevent spam from automated bots.

  The Captcha is automatically added.
• WP-reCAPTCHA (requires Key for ‘reCAPTCHA’)
• MyCaptcha

  Allows you to display a captcha on your comment form to avoid spam.

  (requires PHP Code in template)
• Yet Another WordPress Anti Spam Plugin

  Most anti-comment-spambot-plugins focus on user interaction, e.g. captcha or math comment spam protection. Yawasp focuses on handling comment-spam-protection within WordPress. It replaces the names of the comment form fields with random names, protecting your blog from spambots that aim at the default comment field names. Furthermore it adds a blank field, hidden from the user, that needs to be left empty.

  This plugin requires a rewritten template code and therefore can not be combined with other contact plugins.
