[/dropshadowbox]John’s & Marcus Rant: What to rant about?
Well I have to do some leather chewing, seems the wool was pulled over my eyes on the last show. The plugin Betterify turns out to be a joke and I fell for it hook line and sinkeer.. Seems that placeabo effect extends to the web as well as everywhere else.

Stream
https://wordpress.org/plugins/stream/
Stream is the easiest and safest way to track content changes happening to your WordPress site and then
view them in beautifully organized detail. This is an amazing tool to use if you have others using the
back end of your web site. I interviewed one of the developers on another show, and it does everything
that X-Team claimed and then some!

Plugin Mover
https://wordpress.org/plugins/plugin-mover/
If too many plugins appear in the WordPress admin sometimes the question appear if there is a way to move
them out of sight without deleting them. This plugin is able to do this task. Define a folder under Tools
-> Plugin Mover and then go to plugins admin page and choose to move plugins to your defined folder.
Afterwards you can see them by ftp in the defined folder.
