Benefits – Benefits – Benefits
Having a review done by us or having an interview helps the traffic to the developers website, as was bought to our attention recently when we did an interview and reviewed a plugin for a developer who sent us snap shots of their traffic before and after the shows. The traffic stayed, so there are great benefits to being reviewed by WP Plugins A to Z. Submit Your Plugin Here.

It’s Boxing Day here in Candanavia and a Happy New Year to everyone and since this is the last show before we move into a new decade this one is a little outside the box and may be indicative of changes that are coming in the new year.

Starting off the plugins for this week I have,
WP Moon Phase Widget
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-moon-phase-widget/
The Lowdown:
This is a simple widget plugin that allow you to add the moon pase into your website by simply affing a widget or using a shortcode. It does seem to do Geotrageting to your IP addtess not sure what is up there but aside from that a pretty nice little plugin.

ClassicPress Options
ClassicPress is a fast growing fork of WordPress that is starting to come into its own. ClassicPress is focused on Business Websites runs fast and is looking pretty good. There are a few plugins specifically for ClassicPress and all plugins for WordPress 4.9.9 work well on it. I do believe it has a future.
One thing I am looking forward to in the ClassicPress World is the expansion of the number of ClassicPress specific plugins and their own repository. Currently there are not a lot of ClassicPress specific plugins but I do know it is going to grow and I’ll have to expand this segment then. Who knows, it could take over the whole show.
This week for ClassicPress I have:
