Plugin Page Search and Replace Description This is a plugin for WordPress to allow you to search and replace text across all your posts. Review Search and Replace is a simple easy to use plugin which is one reason I use it. The only job of the plugin is to find a phrase and replace it by another phrase. Installation of the plugin is easy, just upload the single file and activate it. You’ll be able to access the plugin from the Manage tag in WP-Admin. Once there, you can select through which tables you want to search through and then enter the search and replace phrases. The plugin uses SQL search. The search phrase is case sensitive, which means you have to be careful with what you are searching and replace. I’ve been using this plugin to search and replace phrases and is one plugin I use on all […]

Plugin Page: http://txfx.net/code/wordpress/clutter-free/ Description: Clutter Free is a plugin that lets you hide portions of the WordPress posting interface that you rarely (or never) use. Features: – Hides various portions from view to save space on the screen – Can completely remove the Image Uploader and Preview windows saving bandwidth Review: Honestly, there isn’t much I can write about Clutter Free other than it works and works well. The installation is quick and easy. You can then visit your profile page and deselect which elements you want to hide. I have the inline image uploader and the Preview window hidden on my blogs because I don’t use either of them. You have no clue how much bandwidth I save while I am blogging! One good feature about Clutter Free is the ability for individual users to select what they want to see seperately. This ensures that on multi-admin blogs, the […]

Having missed out the last few days of the “A Plugin A Day” series due to me being on holidays, we will be continuing the series all through May. With so many plugins still worth reviewing, the days in April fell shot anyway. This means we are still accepting emails from plugin authors to have their plugins featured. Read the original post for instructions on how to submit a plugin for review. Remember the more information you provide us the easier it is for us to review and test your plugin. Note that we are selective about which plugins get featured here, so sending in an email doesn’t mean an assured post. Also, your plugin doesn’t need to be a new release. You can email us about an old plugin that is still highly relevant. Some of the plugins featured in the last month have been released several months back. […]
