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.

Starting out I have a plugin that I have yet to use but felt you would want to know it exists. Keep in mind the ratings are based off the descriptions on their site and using their demo if available.

Member Chimp – User Profile & Community Plugin (freemium)
https://wordpress.org/plugins/member-chimp/
What they say:
Member Chimp lets you create beautiful and highly customizable user profiles and makes building an online community a breeze. It features custom front-end user registration, login, password reset, and front-end account dashboard. Member Chimp is a complete solution to build an online community or membership site with powerful front-end and backend functionality, yet very easy to setup and use. With Member Chimp you can create any type of website where visitors can join and become members of your site.
Some of the plugin features include
- Front-end user profiles
- Front-end user registration
- Front-end user login
- Front-end account dashboard
- Front-end password recovery
- Custom e-mail notifications
- Custom user roles
- Custom fields
- Custom avatars and file uploads
- Member directories
- SEO friendly user profiles
- Conditional nav menus
- Drag and drop form builder
- Show user posts and comments on user profiles
- Developer friendly with hundreds of actions and filters
What I have to say:
This plugin was in the schedule to be reviewed today when i also saw his name popup in Twitter via @codepotent and received another email from him while prepping for the show. Things are interesting sometimes.
This does look like a pretty interesting new membership plugin and while I might have chosen it had I discovered it a few months back when I built out a Membership site. I am not about to make a major change in a good site at this moment.
It does have a few pro addons that look to be a benefit for an active community such as the notifications. You may want to have a look at this plugin if you are building out a membership site or upgrading one.
Rating 4 Dragons.

User Submitted Posts (freemium)
https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-submitted-posts/
The Lowdown:
Looking for a quick and easy way to allow your site visitors or members to add content to your site. This plugin may be something your looking for then. It is a bit easier to use than Gravityforms but more limited in some ways. With the free version you simply add a shortcode to a page and instant form to all visitors to upload content for a post including images.

Works great in ClassicPress

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:
News:
Listen to the Interview with James Nylen and Michelle Coe from ClassicPress Two of the Leads for the ClassicPress Team, Michelle Coe (lead designer), and James Nylen (lead developer) it is a great interview so follow the link to listen to it.

Under the Tools Menu you can click on the CP Plugin Compatability and get a list of known plugins that will not work in CP.
Marks plugins not compatible with WP version 4.9. Adds a menu that displays top 200 plugins from wp.org and their compatibility. Fixes some compatibility issues with Classicpress: at the moment: wp-cli core check-update, SEO by Rank Math.
