Translation files are a very important part of the WordPress ecosystem. They allow your plugin or theme to be used by people in all languages. So, you need them. It’s less of a suggestion and more of a requirement 😉 (more…)

Mikey’s Plugin List: Broken Link Checker
Welcome to Mikey’s Plugin List – my own curated list of plugins that I love and use.
Broken Link Checker
Description: This plugin will check your posts, comments and other content for broken links and missing images, and notify you if any are found.
Pretty basic but super useful. It goes through your entire site and checks for broken links. If it finds any, it will email you letting you know the link no longer works.
Very useful if you’ve just migrated your site over or if you have thousands of links and would like to make sure they are still working and not giving your readers a nice 404 surprise.

WordPress Snippet: show all child pages of a page
Here is a pretty handy snippet that will display all the child pages of the current page:
<?php $children = wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of='.$post->ID.'&echo=0'); if ($children) { ?> <ul> <?php echo $children; ?> </ul> <?php } ?>

A curated list of the best WordPress plugins
Tidyrepo.com claims to be a curated list of “the best and most reliable WordPress plugins”. I’ve used almost all of these plugins and can attest to the fact that yes, they got it right. The only thing I would say is that some of their plugins (Gravity Forms, WP DB Migrate Pro) are paid plugins and some are free. I would have liked the list to be all free plugins and then have a separate list for the best paid plugins out there.
Go check out Tidyrepo.com to see their list of curated plugins.
