Custom Sidebars
freemium plugin from WPMU.dev
- Version: 2.1.1.1
- Author: WPMU DEV
- Last Updated: 1 week ago
- Requires WordPress Version: 3.3 or higher
- Compatible up to: 4.6.1
- Active Installs: 200,000+
- WordPress.org Plugin Page »
- Plugin Homepage »
The lowdown:
If you need additional side bard/widgets you can use this plugin to easily create them and manage them. You can assign the widgets to specific posts or pages, have it show for specific categories or display everywhere. This will give you the ability to create specific widgets you can show for your members or guests or show something special just for certain page visitors. The list of uses is pretty endless.
If you need more control try the pro version which allows more customizations such as assign widget to specific user roles like editor, clone and sync widgets, import and export custom side bars you can use on other sites. You could even have author specific widgets.
Rating 4 Dragons free and 5 Dragons for the pro.
WP Admin UI plus pro
sent in by Benjamin Denis
- Version: 1.8.1
- Author: Benjamin DENIS
- Last Updated: 1 month ago
- Requires WordPress Version: 4.0+ or higher
- Compatible up to: 4.6.1
- Active Installs: 1,000+

The lowdown:
This plugin seems to be pretty through in its customizations of the WordPress UI. It allows control over items such as the image quality of images uploaded to media library and will let you add columns there such as dimensions and exif info and more. If you have multiple types of files you can ad filtering by type such as .zip, swf,doc, pdf, xls and more. This can be a time saver if your looking for something.
You get customization for the login screen including my new favourite disabling login by email. and so much more

Wordcamp Dashboard Widget

- Author: LUBUS
- Last Updated: 2 days ago
- Requires WordPress Version: 3.0.1 or higher
- Compatible up to: 4.6.1
- WordPress.org Plugin Page »
- Plugin Homepage »
The Lowdown:
A simple plugin that will show you all the upcoming and past WordCamps that are listed on the WordCamp site. It shows them in your dashboard as a widget. Not a bad little plugin but could be improved by having a simple way to display them on the front end of your website so you could share tine information with the world.

Woo Dynamic Quantity Table
This plugin works in conjuction with the offical ‘Woocommerce Dynamic Pricing’ plugin, but takes it a step further. Once dynamic pricing data has been entered and the plugin acticated, it will automatically show a table with price and quantity next to the product.
Rating: 4 out of 5
Clean Unused Medias
This plugin scans the uploaded media to delete the media you don’t need anymore. Works with post, page, thumbnails, favicons, custom post types and ACF (Advanced Custom Fields). It does a scan and then gives you the option to delete the unused media.
Rating: 4 out of 5
