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.

Wocommerce remove background
https://fresh-d.biz/wocommerce-remove-background.html
Wocommerce remove background is a wordpress plugin, which allows automatically remove or change any background of woocommerce product images using API of remove.bg service. You can easily set transparent background, make the background to be any color you want or put your own image as the background.
Key features
-automatically change/remove any background at product photos
-process either all products or only specified
-choose which image types to process (main image or gallery images)
-back up and restore original images
-choose output image size
-preview background removal result before actual removing
Supported images
Any JPG or PNG image with up to 8 megabytes. All photos that have a subject that is clearly meant to be the foreground are supported. For instance, most photos of products, persons, animals, cars and other objects work. If the image resolution is larger than 10 megapixels (e.g. 4000 × 2500 pixels or any other aspect ratio) it is resized to this maximum resolution.
How it works?
For background removal the plugin uses API of service remove.bg The service allows 50 free requests which provide resulting images of 0.25 megapixels max (e.g. 625×400 pixels). If you like the result, need more requests or higher output resolution – you can obtain a paid subscription and enjoy the full resolution of outputted photos

The Events Calendar Shortcode and Templates (freemium $29)
https://wordpress.org/plugins/template-events-calendar/
The Lowdown:
If you use The Events calendar from Modern Tribe, you are aware of the shortcoming of the layouts available even in the premium version of the plugin. This plugin help with that issue by giving you two layout options in the free version of the plugin and four more in the premium version. They look pretty good on a website and are a great improvement over the standard layouts from the plugin.

Contact Form Integration For Elementor (All in One)
https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-contact-form-integration-for-elementor/
The Lowdown:
This plugin offers the promise of integration of forms into Elementor unfornantly it dellivers less than that. While it does have some adjustments to the look they are limited and it does not do a very nice job of presenting the form into the site. I used it for Gravity forms in the hopes of finding a better way to show the form but it was lacking. I have to warn you off this one.

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:
