I have been a WordPress user for many years. I try to keep my website GodPonders.org current and well run. Nothing gives me as much FREE useable advice on a weekly basis. I wait for the newest podcast each week. This is the only podcast that never has multiple unplayed episodes building up. BONUS great Show Notes from their Website.

It produces a great simple PDF of your forms out put and a little minor tweaking of the template you can even insert custom lines from the form. If you spend a little time in the plugins functions file you can even get a PDF emails direct to you and your client. All in all a great plugin.

Disk Usage Sunburst
https://wordpress.org/plugins/disk-usage-sunburst/
This plugin shows all files of your WordPress installation at once. These are displayed in a neat “Sunburst Chart” format. Each arc within the chart is designated as either a directory or a file. Hover your mouse over an arc to see the size of the file or directory. The bigger the arc is, the larger the file or directory is. It’s a quite useful method in determining the largest files in your WP install!

Download Media Library
https://wordpress.org/plugins/download-media-library/

Auto Load Next Post
https://wordpress.org/plugins/auto-load-next-post/
Auto Load Next Post loads the next post after one another as you scroll down the page. To do this, it reads the post navigation in your theme at the end of each post and collects the post URL. With this, it asks WordPress to do a partial content load and the javascript places the content of the next post underneath the parent post.
It also updates your web history by manipulating the web address and page title so if you were to hit refresh, you will be taken to the post you were viewing last. You will find that when pressing the previous button in your browser to go back you will be taken to the previous post.
