This plugin creates magazine style columns in your posts and pages.
Types is your one-stop solution for creating custom content with WordPress. You can define:
Once you've defined your custom post types and custom fields, use Types shortcode to include them in your content, without resorting to PHP.
Check out this 2 minutes Types intro: (beware, includes spicy Milonga!)
Use the GUI to define new post types and taxonomy. You can control menu positioning, labels and all the advanced features that WordPress offers.
Choose how your custom taxonomy relates to post types and holds together related content.
Types lets you define meta boxes with custom fields. You can assign these boxes to posts, pages or any custom type. Your meta boxes can include standard and advanced fields:
If you're creating themes and plugins that require custom types and custom fields, you can use the Embedded version of Types. This is a minimal version, which doesn't include the configuration screens. It runs as a theme function and doesn't require activation, like the full plugin version.
You will export Types configuration to a file and the Embedded version will use that. Your theme (or plugin) will include the custom types and fields that you define, but users will not be able to modify the settings. Look at the 'embedded' directory for information on how to integrate with your theme.
The same folks who wrote WPML have created this plugin. Types and WPML play perfectly together. You can translate all labels via WPML's String Translation, without any configuration.
When you translate content that includes custom fields, these fields will appear in WPML's Translation Editor. Also, content synchronization between different languages is fully supported.
Types creates shortcodes for inserting custom fields into the WordPress editor. Your new fields will be available to editors. Just click on the T menu and choose which field to insert.
To display custom content in whatever way you choose, discover Views - the perfect companion for Types. Together, Types and Views allow building complex WordPress sites, without any coding.
You'll be able to create dynamic templates for single pages and content lists using advanced query and output tools. All Views are created using plain HTML and shortcodes - no PHP or API to learn.
This plugin generates static html files from your dynamic WordPress blog. After a html file is generated your webserver will serve that file instead of processing the comparatively heavier and more expensive WordPress PHP scripts.
The static html files will be served to the vast majority of your users, but because a user's details are displayed in the comment form after they leave a comment those requests are handled by the legacy caching engine. Static files are served to:
99% of your visitors will be served static html files. Those users who don't see the static files will still benefit because they will see different cached files that aren't quite as efficient but still better than uncached. This plugin will help your server cope with a front page appearance on digg.com or other social networking site.
If for some reason "supercaching" doesn't work on your server then don't worry. Caching will still be performed, but every request will require loading the PHP engine. In normal circumstances this isn't bad at all. Visitors to your site will notice no slowdown or difference. Supercache really comes into it's own if your server is underpowered, or you're experiencing heavy traffic. Super Cached html files will be served more quickly than PHP generated cached files but in every day use, the difference isn't noticeable.
The plugin serves cached files in 3 ways (ranked by speed):
If you're new to caching use PHP caching. It's easy to set up and very fast. Avoid legacy caching if you can.
Advanced users will probably want to use mod_rewrite caching, but PHP caching is almost as good and recommended for everyone else. Enable the following:
Garbage collection is the act of cleaning up cache files that are out of date and stale. There's no correct value for the expiry time but a good starting point is 1800 seconds if you're not using legacy mode. If you are using that mode start with an expiry time of 600 seconds.
If you are not using legacy mode caching consider deleting the contents of the "Rejected User Agents" text box and allow search engines to create supercache static files.
Likewise, preload as many posts as you can and enable "Preload Mode". Garbage collection will still occur but it won't affect the preloaded files. If you don't care about sidebar widgets updating often set the preload interval to 2880 minutes (2 days) so all your posts aren't recached very often. When the preload occurs the cache files for the post being refreshed is deleted and then regenerated. Afterwards a garbage collection of all old files is performed to clean out stale cache files. With preloading on cached files will still be deleted when posts are made or edited or comments made.
See the WP Super Cache homepage for further information. Developer documentation is also available for those who need to interact with the cache or write plugins.
The changelog is a good place to start if you want to know what has changed since you last downloaded the plugin.

Now fully compatible with child themes. Clone an existing template file without uploading new files via FTP. Optionally, a user can add a template name, so that the new file will be automatically recognized as a new page template in the post editor. If using a child theme, the new file will be copied from the parent theme folder into the child theme.
This plugin will generate a special XML sitemap which will help search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo and Ask.com to better index your blog. With such a sitemap, it's much easier for the crawlers to see the complete structure of your site and retrieve it more efficiently. The plugin supports all kinds of WordPress generated pages as well as custom URLs. Additionally it notifies all major search engines every time you create a post about the new content.

This release is not compatible with the new multisite feature of WordPress 3.0 yet. The plugin will remain inactive as long as this feature is enabled. If you are using this feature, try out the new Beta version which fully supports multisite mode as well as network activation!

Adds the ability to rearrange the pages with drag and drop.
The plugin resembles CMS Tree Page View in many ways, but is designed to look as native as possible, to be used in client projects. There is no plugin branding or donate button. Just pure functionality.
For theme developers, there's a filter hook that lets you set the maximum number of levels pages can be nested in. There's also a filter to specify the post types this applies to. See the PHP file for details about this.
This plugin gives every widget an extra control field called "Widget logic" that lets you control the pages that the widget will appear on.
The text field lets you use WP's Conditional Tags, or any general PHP code.
There is also an option to add a wordpress 'widget_content' filter -- this lets you tweak standard widgets to suit your theme without editing plugins and core code.
If you like and use Widget Logic you could consider a small donation to Cancer Research UK. I have a JustGiving.com donation link above with the aim of raising 500 UKP in the next 12 months.

Notes
Change your sidebar content with different pages. Avoid creating multiple sidebars and duplicating widgets by adding check boxes to each widget in the admin (as long as it is written in the WordPress version 2.8 format) which will either show or hide the widgets on every site page. Great for avoiding extra coding and keeping your sidebars clean.
By default, 'Hide on Checked' is selected with no boxes checked, so all current widgets will continue to display on all pages.
