[plugin_name src=”custom-comment-notifications”] Overview:
This is a great plugin to customize the outgoing email provided by WordPress. It allows you to make custom changes to what is otherwise a bland email and sometimes not clear. You can add several variables to make the emails you get more understandable customize the subject line so they get through your spam trap and if you have multiple sites you can know at a glance which site it is from. All in all pretty good.

Peekaboo Timer

Premium Plugin
Available at Code Canyon https://codecanyon.net/item/peekaboo-timer/7197988?ref=Ahkonsu
referred to us by Oktal Studio

The Lowdown
This plugin has some rally great uses for your content, what it does is allow you to reveal/hid content based on several criteria, date, days of week, time, time zone odd days even days, hide during certain months or reveal. Basically just about any way you would like to share/hide/reveal your content or parts of your content on a post by post basis. This can be a great way to run a special event and have the content disappear automatically and still leave other information on the posts that is still relevant.

All in all a pretty useful plugin
