Pushing towards Episode 420 and looking to have some fun with it.
With that, let’s dive right into the meat and potatoes. I have a great set of plugins for you today!
To start off I have a plugin that I have yet to use but thought you might want to know they exist. Keep in mind the ratings are based off the descriptions on their site and using their demo if available.

Rebusify Verified Reviews WooCommerce Extension
https://www.rebusify.com/woocommerce-rebusify-confidence-system-plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/rebusify-verified-reviews-woocommerce-extension/
What they say:
We created a WooCommerce extension that posts verified reviews to the Ethereum blockchain. These reviews show up on the merchants auto-created company profile page. What this does is stop non-customers from reviewing products/services. Since there is a such a problem with fake negative reviews and as someone who experienced it first hand, it was only right that we create this. It took us over a year to develop the technology and it’s finally out there
When your customers buys your product or service via WooCommerce using the Rebusify Confidence System, they have 30 days to leave a 1 through 5-Star review, along with a title and description of the product or service. Once they create that review, it is immediately ported over to rebusify.com where it becomes searchable. And in an industry first, Rebusify is proud to add the enhanced ability to store reviews on the Ethereum blockchain, where they become a permanent record impossible to modify.
With the Rebusify Confidence System (RCS), merchants can safely send customers to Rebusify.com to view their company profile page displaying real reviews from actual, real and verified customers. Not some random fake reviews from unscrupulous competitors, ex-employees or someone with a grudge.
Each company that uses the RCS gets their own SEO optimized company page where all the company details are listed, along with all their verified reviews. These will also appear on Google, when people do review searches for a company.

The next plugin I have for you is:
Email Users
https://wordpress.org/plugins/email-users/
The Lowdown:
After doing lots of upgrades to a membership site it comes a time to notify all the users of the great new website you have created. So what do you do? This plugin help you with that issue by allowing you to send out mass emails to groups of users based on their user group.
You can send out the emails with all the info you need to let your users know about the new site but there are some caveats to this plugin. It does not do cuing or limiting of the number of outgoing emails at once, which can present an issue on some hosting providers.
There have been some comments on this plugin that it’s a bit buggy and hard to use for non-techies and can pose some problems. It may be the solution for you have a look at it in a dev environment.

Next up I have:
WP Broken Link Status Checker
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-link-status/
The lowdown:
I normally don’t recommend doing this, but if you are in need of checking out your site for broken links and do not have access to a tool such as Screaming Frog, then this is a good option. Just be sure to turn it off after you have finished your work.
Broken link checkers have had a checkered past on WordPress. They were very popular years ago and worked well for the most part. The problems started when sites got larger and these plugins ran all the time, using massive amounts of resources on a server.
The devs of this plugin have said they have emphasized site performance over the scan of the plugin.
Using this, you can find out if you have any errors in you links throughout your site and get them fixed up. It does seem to perform OK and not too heavy a load but be sure to turn off when done. I do recommend using a proper spider tools such as Screaming Frog, but they are a bit more pricey than this.
Rating 4 Dragons.
ClassicPress Options
Since the release of Gutenberg, and its fallout, ClassicPress has garnered a lot of attention. This is a fork of WordPress and is focused on Business Websites and is looking pretty good. It does seem in the past few months ClassicPress is coming into its own a bit and with some plugins now being created specifically for ClassicPress 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:
