Required plugins for Wordpress
WordPress can be customized and developed in two ways, besides the options that the administrative panel offers: a theme that changes the look and plugins that add features.
Plugins are easily configured by adding files to the/wp-content/plugins/directory and often add menus to options.
Content Plugins
They help to expand the possibilities when the content of the site, in particular, make it more dynamic .
Inline PHP: PHP code and JavaScript
If you want to add or paste code into pages. Note that if necessary, you can create JavaScript using the PHP echo command.
Awesome: Image Gallery
Art gallery plugins are no longer useful when creating articles using Live Writer: It allows you to create galleries very easily. Unless you want to add a name or description below the photos, because Live Writer doesn't. In addition, it tends to replicate files on the site.
Presentation plugins
They change the appearance of the blog regardless of the installed topic.
Pagebar: Navigation
The plugin replaces the words "previous" and "next" at the bottom of the page with a list of numbers corresponding to sets of pages, and allows you to go directly to the group without revealing one page.
For use in a blog rather than a help site, this accumulates inappropriate links.
YARPP: In a relationship

Hyperframe: Acceleration
There are several plugins to speed up page loading. It is easy to install and efficient.
All-in-One SEO: SEO
Simplifies linking to articles. In particular, it allows you to control the content of the <title> tag, and possibly <description>, useful for pages with a small amount of text.
Google XML Sitemaps: Site Generator
It automatically generates a site map for Google and all other search engines. With each new ticket or update, sitemap changes and engines are alerted. Compressed format is supported. Easy to install and configure.
Some plugins offer to generate a meta keyword taking into account "SEO." This is useless, the engines prefer to use words in the text, rather than a hidden list that the visitor does not see.
Sidepress
Allows WordPress to be used as a news manager on one website, even if it is already managed by another CMS.
