    QBN, can I see your WP cheat sheet? Please?

    What are your go to Wordpress Plugins that tend to get installed on most of your sites during a fresh install of wordpress?

    "But it's site dependant..." OK, for example I am a cook and I use my site to showcase my cooking videos and cooking course (which they have to join to access).

    Apparently the top 3 are:
    ACF*
    Wordfence
    Yoast SEO

    For a beginner like me, it makes sense to put notes besides to say WHY u need the plugin or at least name the category. Wordfence - firewall
    Yoast SEO - SEO

    ACF* there are so many versions of this plugin I am baffled which one is the one I'm supposed to choose. And apparently the one everyone names, is either gone altogether or not free bcuz I can't find it. I want free, no signup if possible.

    Those came from reddit. I copied/pasted another list below. NO clue if it's reliable or not. That's why I asked to see your own WP plugin cheat sheet.

    QUOTE

    "Not a specific plugin, but maybe categories that would add a plugin:

    Security: a firewall (e.g. Wordfence, iThemes), or some smaller plugins to protect logins

    Cache: WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache

    SEO: Rank Math SEO, Yoast SEO, The SEO Framework

    Image Optimization: ShortPixel, Smush

    Link Shortener: Pretty Link, Redirection

    Ad Management: AdRotate, Ad Inserter

    Contact Form: Contact Form 7, WP Forms

    Backup: All-in-One WP Migration, Updraft Plus, Duplicator

    Spam Protection: Akismet Anti-Spam, Antispam Bee"

    • Sounds about right, I typically use most of those. Plus elemntor to build._niko
    • Beaver builder (more light weight pages than elementor)YakuZoku
    • Really does depend but I keep it to as few as possible. Dislike builders. I wouldn't use half of these on a small site that wasn't getting heavy traffic.webazoot
    • Thanks for the answers guys. Since I wasn't waaaaayyyy off I guess I *am* beginning to learn wordpress... whoa. A christmas miracle! :)cherub
