I want a WordPress plugin to…
June 11, 2008 – 7:58 am | by Miriam SchwabSo you’ve got a shiny new WordPress blog, and you really want to add a cool feature that either demands programming the feature into your site, or even better, finding the perfect plugin so that you can add the feature with a few clicks.
The conventional way of finding plugins is to either search the WordPress plugin directory, or to do a search. Well, here’s a new way that is actually really smart and useful – visit this site: I want a WordPress Plugin to … 450+ solutions.
At the top of the page, there is a hyperlinked list of related features for plugins, like Related Authors, Admin, Stats, Posts, Tags, etc.
You click on one of those links, and it takes you to a list of plugins that can help you achieve that feature. So for example, if I click on Calendars, I get a list of 4 plugins that can help me add a calendar to my WordPress blog. I personally know that there are many more calendar-related plugins for adding calendars to your blog, but you can submit more plugins for them to add to the list.
I think the idea behind this site is good, but it really needs a lot of community contribution in order to make it more complete.

A site where you can download hundreds of plugins in one bundle could be handy too. It would be much easier to download the top 100 plugins than it would be to go hunting for them all the time.
It could be a pain updating them all the time though unless you automated the process.

Thanks – I’ll try that site. Does anybody know a good translator plugin (German -> English)? I testet a lot and was very disappointed regarding the quality of the plugin, not the translation (which is often crap err interesting). Google translation is good enough for my purpose at the moment. Some plugins weren’t compatible to my theme – I prefer a nice sidebar solution.
Thanks a lot!
