The Lowdown:
This is a simple plugin to remind you or whoever is doing the posts to create a featured image, This is useful since so many theme and other aspects of site now really depend on the featured images for good layout.

Material WP – Material Design Dashboard Theme

The Lowdown:
Are you tired of the same old look of the WordPress Admin well this plugin is for you. Just activating it makes your admin look much nicer. You can move the menu from left to right, don’t like the order of menu items you can drag and drop to change that to your liking. Change header and colours and so much more this is a pretty great plugin for some real customizations in the admin back end.

Premium Plugin
WP PDF
Sent in by Eric Kiilu
The Lowdown:
Host your own PDF documents with this plugin, while it works very well there is one limitation I was not able to over come. What it does is creates a great looking digital book of your PDF but it does not embed it in your post. What it does is allows your to create a featured image and it links that to open in a new page. All in all a pretty nice plugin and works very well

Unauthorized Login Redirect
This plugin allows you to effectively hide your wp-login.php and wp-admin by requiring that you access it via a custom URL.
Rating: 4 out of 5
Cart links for WooCommerce
“Cart links for WooCommerce” allows the shop manager to create urls that will redirect the customer to a fully populated cart. This is extremely useful for email campaigns or call to action buttons. If the customer already has items in the cart, they will be kept.

Full Screen Images
This plugin is for viewing images on the full screen. Using the touch/mouse position for panning.
Add a full-screen-image class to image. The one mandatory attribute is either a src, data-image or a href, which needs to point to an image file. You can use data-image if you want to load in a different version of the image to the original source or higher resolution. It’s tricky to get the hang of, but it works really well.
