WordPress has a new plugin from Search Commander

Posted • January 16, 2009 • Comments Off

Search Commander, Scott Hendison, has released an absolutely fantastic WordPress Plugin

It is called Search Commander WP_Core_Tweaks Plugin. It is touted as exceeding built-in features of WordPress and combines common plugins into one.

Scott has steered me towards the right direction with the correct selections of my WP plugins and I am willing to bet this one is over the top!

The current features are:

• Page Order
• Page Link Manager
• Post Teaser
• Change default post category name
• Change default blogroll category name
• Delete default “Hello World” post
• Delete default comment
• Change permalink structure to custom setting
• Sets the Main Blog Email
• Sets the Admin User’s Email
• Change the name of the default page WordPress adds
• Set that default page to the static front page of the blog
• Add and set the page for displaying the posts
• Change article feed to summary
• Remove all the blogroll links that are auto-installed by WordPress
• Nofollow and open in new tab rss feeds.
• Nofollow and open in new tab for blogroll.
• A few other minor features for the blogroll, such as option to choose number of links shown, image links, text links, show link’s category, limit links displayed to a multiple categories.
• rel=”nofollow” added for Link Relatations(XFN). The checkbox to do this is on the right hand side when editing a link. This now sets the rel to nofollow and works in conjuntion with the built-in XFN of WordPress’s link relations.
• The H1 Hack, but still requires using a short-code in the theme files.
• Meta tag for WordPress version number removes from the header automatically.
• rsd_link() and wlwmanifest_link() auto removes from the header.

The “coming soon” features are:

• Avoid displaying the fatal error on activation when installing on blogs using now-included plugins.
• Auto-create the uploads folder and set to 777.
• Secure wp-admin directory .
• Uncheck the “organize uploads by month”.
• Integrate DDSitemapGen and auto-generate the sitemap page.
• Create a robots.txt file.
• Send an email to the new admin when set in the core tweaks settings page.
• Auto create the initial user after admin.
• Add auto upgrade notice feature.
• Will add to this list soon.

I have downloaded and installed this WordPress plugin. I will get back to in a while and give you my impressions.

I would suggest you check it out too. It might just what you need either follow @shendison on twitter or contact hip personally for one.

My first impression of this WordPress plugin is “PRETTY SLICK”!

Late,
Gary Pool
