Plugins: Post Expiring

These plugins allow us to set expiration date to posts.

We were using Post Expirator but I will switch to Post Expiring as it is 10 times smaller!

Post Expiring was the best written and most simple. Problem was there was no easy way of selecting all the expired posts. This is why I selected VA Simple Expires as it is almost similary small, but it marks posts in special group called Ended, on pair with Drafts, Private, etc.

Very advanced but very big

Note: Our old plugin Post Expirator was HUGE problem as it was slowing down almost half of the WordPress admin area. Also, heartbeat was on almost every 5 seconds. Don’t know why.

Plugin: Cron jobs management?

Important - WordPress Cron is depended on the User. WP Cron fires only on the page visit so it can be inaccurate.

Simply the best is WP Crontrol as it managed to remove my cron jobs and an UI is nice and as expected. ali je zbog mojih podešavanjima na dev env uvek potreban i WP Cron HTTP Auth plugin služi da ako si stavio zaštitu na sajt, da ti ipak WP Cron radi.

There is interesting plugin WP-Cron Control for specific task - forcing a cron execution when calling specific URL with secret hash.

Plugins: Content filtering

We need a way to filter imported posts based on some criteria - keywords in article.

Plugin Post Filter can only confuse a user. As it is triggered only on action publish_post, I think that really it is never executed on imported posts. This is why I disabled it for now.

Well, no - it is working correctly. I still don’t like it.

Slack notifications

Winner: Dorzki’s plugin

  • Slack Notifications dorzki is very small and efficient. Not extendable, but working as expected.

Notes: when post is updated,

  • Slack is very ambitious but not maintained well. As seen on gedex/wp-slack, last update was 2 years ago.

It supports unlimited events via custom hooks. There are also couple of free extensions, like this one for WooCommerce

Event Notifier omogućava da na bilo koji hook prikačiš event kao email i Slack notification.

And that’s about it.

Plugins: Disable Comments

These plugins will disable commenting functionality on a website. Nisam siguran jesu li potrebni pošto čak i Admin and Site Enhancements (ASE) ima opciju Disable Comments. Razlog zašto možda koristitit ove pluginove je to da oni uklone svaki trag comment sistema i iz admin area.

Plugins: Disable Author Pages

disable authors everywhere, author archive pages, user archive pages, author archives, disable author slugs, obfuscate author slugs

Use option from “Admin and Site Enhancements” plugin

Yoast SEO has always had a feature to disable Author archives in the options panel located at “SEO > Titles & Metas > Archives > Author archives”.

However, if you insist on disabling author pages in the code, it is very simple to do so by adding the following code:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
13


add_filter( 'author_link', function ($link) {
  $link = home_url();
  return $link;
}, 10, 1);


add_action('template_redirect', function () {
  if (is_author()) {
    wp_redirect(home_url(), 301);
    exit;
  }
});

The comprehensive Admin and Site Enhancements plugin features an “Obfuscate Author Slugs” option that obfuscates publicly exposed author page URLs to something like site.com/author/a6r5b8ytu9gp34bv/ and outputs 404 errors for the original URLs. It also obfuscates the same in the /wp-json/wp/v2/users/ REST API endpoint.

User pages can also be removed using specialized plugins such as Smart User Slug Hider which is mentioned in the instructional video about a huge WordPress security gap: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0CPog3M_Jg, but this plugin has been retired in october 2023.

Another utility plugin that exclusively disables author archives is Disable Author Archives.

Last Contacted caught my attention as the developer creates intriguing plugins. It’s a mini-CRM that allows you to import contacts from Google Contacts and then record basic information like the date of the contact, method used, and a brief note about the interaction inside WordPress. It’s quite innovative - except it hasn’t been updated in 10 years :)

Plugin: Custom CSS and Custom JS

There are many plugins to add CSS only on specific pages. However, I always prefer minimal plugins that do exactly what I need and nothing more. Since I usually need to quickly and temporarily include CSS and JS, and later when I determine what I need, I almost always put it into a small custom plugin.

So, the simplest and probably my favorite is Insert Headers And Footers with “only” 100K users, because it is simple and the Admin menu is in the right place.

The most popular is Simple Custom CSS and JS with 500K users, and it is quite advanced, but in my opinion, unnecessarily.

There are so many plugins so it is impossible to mention them all, but I’ll mention them by “virtue of extreme popularity” or by some interesting specificity compared to others.

As popular ones, there are WP Add Custom CSS and Custom CSS and JavaScript that stand out.

I do find Instant CSS very interesting because it supports SASS or Minify CSS, for example, and is not bulky.

The Custom Login Admin Front-end CSS plugin nicely differentiates between Front-end and Admin CSS.

For Admin-focused options, the plugins Add Admin CSS and Add Admin JavaScript are excellent choices. These plugins allow you to select the CSS or JS insertion point from a range of parts within the admin HTML document, at least in the case of JS and less so for CSS, but also support loading from a specified list of files.

In addition, there is a straightforward and logical set of two plugins that allow for the quick loading of custom CSS and JavaScript files by placing them into a folder, after which they will be loaded automatically. It couldn’t be simpler. These plugins are Smart CSS Auto Loader and Smart JavaScript Auto Loader.

Using Specific CSS Only on Certain Pages

None serious for now.

Stylesheet Per Page is abandoned.

Safe Function Call is a plugin worth examining a bit of code, as it serves to safely call a function or method and not generate errors if called plugins are missing.
