[@pattimills]

I'm a complete noob - a task at my new position is to maintain and add content to our Wordpress site and after watching this and many of your other tutorials, I'm no longer ambivalent about getting my hands on our website. Thank you so much for the great lessons.

[@darrelwilson]

good luck patti

[@MarcelinaRobledo]

Hey Darrel - Thanks so much for the doing the leg work and showcasing the plugins. As a relative newby to WordPress, I can never make my sites look like the demos and I'm constantly spending A LOT of time sussing out plugins to see if they work the way I need them to. Great video!

[@kristinamauerstein609]

You should also consider the PHP 7 Compatibility Checker. When thinking about that barely 6% of all WordPress users upgraded to PHP 7 this plugin might become very usefull.

[@rojajacob1028]

Yaayyy :D another good tutorial... U rock Darrel!!!

[@darrelwilson]

thanks!!

[@MrMeasureTwice]

Hey Darrel - good info and a few plug-ins I had not heard of before. Building my new site now, so this was helpful and useful information. Presented at a good pace. Thanks for the work it took to put this together! ~Jim "Mr. Measure Twice" Marchetti

[@_auliayayan5887]

Its Really awesome and informative Darrel, Love it, it really helpful for me.. i just wondering if you can review more plugin to make our Wordpress website more attractive and more eye catching. Appreciated it

[@RonaldSurya]

WP Rocket for caching! Kudos for Cleff Plugin for login security. Thanks Darrel Wilson. You produces high quality and most valuable on WP related contents. I've been following your channel for the last 2 months. GREAT Job!

[@darrelwilson]

thanks ronald, got more coming next month, stay tuned!

[@terryhatziieremias]

elegant themes made fantastic job! I am in love with BLOOM!

[@darrelwilson]

oh ya, bloom is the most popular ive seen on the market. Tons of sites use it

[@fashionvivation8220]

Great job! I am having an issue with adding the Google Trusted Store Integration to WordPress and glad I came across this great source of information, Thank you.

[@darrelwilson]

thanks and good luck

[@KristenPoborsky]

Hey Darrell, thanks for sharing these great plugins! I am going to have to try your woo commerce plugin since I am planning to sell info products on my site and yours will make it so much easier to get my woo commerce set up and working how i want it to with leadpages.

[@Prayerwarrior2.0]

Very helpful tutorial Darrel. Thank you soo much for sharing!

[@darrelwilson]

thanks!

[@darrelwilson]

Thanks for watching guys! Let me know what your favorite plugins are or if i missed any! Thumbs up!

[@shikharsaxena2358]

hi Darrel! can you please do a tutorial on site speed optimization? it will be really helpful. also, I noticed while using shopisle theme(Thanx to your great tutorial) that plugins like w3 total cache and autoptimize are incompatible with the theme which makes it really hard to minify and do other stuff

[@darrelwilson]

good point, ill look into this

[@justinhughes774]

Hey Man thanks for the info. as for contact forms, i like Caldera Froms en-za.wordpress.org/plugins/caldera-forms/

[@SingaporeRealEstateHiFi]

We should be thanking you so.. thank you Darrel. And fantastic opening and background music

[@huzaifah4418]

Can you get just the divi theme and plugins without purchasing it from elegant themes so it is cheaper?

[@necmiayten1936]

This really great...informations very clear and you choose them carefully... Like it a lot ..thanks

[@darrelwilson]

thanks again, glad you liked em

[@rodolphusssssss]

Hi Darrel, how are you? Nice video! Just a question, is there a plugin at WordPress that enable users to register and after that to be able to choose their preferences. I want them to be able to match by their preferences, likes, tastes...etc. Like somebody offering fruits and then if someother user wants this product they can bem match.. so the user can see the offert. Thanks for the video and the tips!

The best walk through I've seen. If you going to make a 2017-version I really think you should include a AMP-plugin. Do you BTW have a recommendation for that...?

[@AmedeeBoulette]

About CLEF: it means "key" in french and is pronounce "clay" :) Awesome vid, by the way... Merci et au plaisir!

[@DayneWilliams89]

Sumo Me & Bloom both are email list builders, which one do I choose? Also, what is an alternative for Clef now that it is apparently not available.

[@darrelwilson]

yeah sucks, sumo me is a good free choice but bloom is a good paid choice. its really up to you

[@LosAngelesPrivateInvestigator]

Great tutorial! I'm excited to use WP Smush, Sumo Me and especially CLEF! Keep up the great work!

[@darrelwilson]

good luck!

[@Bryan84084]

Hey Darrel, great and informative video. I'm curious about WP Robot. The website I'm developing instructed me to add the WP Robot plugin but it doesn't seem to exist anymore and I don't have it. Is it worth using or is there a similar plugin that you have suggested that will auto blog on my website. I tried a free download of the robot but it contained malware and I didn't follow through with it and the rest want me to purchase it and I refuse to purchase a plug in like that if there are work-arounds for it. Thanks!

[@jorsomned]

Thank you for sharing with others out there, I have learned, though, I had most of the plugins already but definitely very useful, I would like to to ask you kindly, the title background of music you play on your top 11 best wordpress plugins 2016. To be precise, on 14:00 minutes Bloom plugins. I used to listen this music, though, I forget the title of

[@darrelwilson]

[@darrelwilson]

[@ILM2219]

Darrel, a great video...my question is what is the best one click plugin. I don't want to use google drive or dropbox. Any thoughts???

[@karanday5244]

absolutely fantastic.... I was happy that i already have some of Darrel's top 10 installed - yay. I would like info on the best gift card plugin

[@darrelwilson]

i think woocommerce has some. But you can try gplchimp.com/ These guys sell the same woocommerce plugins for like $10. Save tons of money

[@karanday5244]

Hi Darrell unfortunately the account has been taken down Thank you anyway

[@ShamshuddinMd]

my social buttons not displayed below the content ?

[@MayankParekh_nice]

Thanks Darrel for this video, it's very helpful.

[@darrelwilson]

thanks again, will have a new one coming out soon

[@LindeeGVideos]

Do you recommend Clef if you have Woocommerce? Wouldn't that make it more difficult for customers?

[@darrelwilson]

you know i dont think it works for them because they arent admins

[@wordpressthemetipsandtrick7481]

Nice work and great video. Keep it up dear.

[@darrelwilson]

thank! good luck with your channel

[@arvind_now]

On that Divi Builder, -- I had 3Clicks, and it interfered with the LMS; the very functionality for which I was building the website. Got rid of 3Clicks and same LMS is working fine with Forge theme. Any instances of such interference in case of Divi in case I consider switching?

[@TheChamberRoomExperience]

Regarding Clef how do you use a cell phone to scan a code?

[@ChristianityExplained]

Hi Darrell Wilson. I have seen those pop up from Bloom and the SumoMe plugins. For me, they are very annoying; especially when they show up, seconds after I landed on the website. I did not want to go back to those sites. why would I want to annoy the crap out of my visitors?

[@shrirangdeshkar4600]

Very useful video Darrel Thank you for Sharing

[@darrelwilson]

good luck mate!

[@darrelwilson]

[@mikaelkevin6193]

[@bindassdude5627]

Hey, thanks for the info., all are very useful for me.... But i also wanted to know which plugin is good for currency switcher and any free plugin To Add Variable Pricing Product Options in WooCommerce site.

[@darrelwilson]

currency switcher? i dont really know, ive never tried it

[@bankoledada]

Good stuff Darrel, However i use the w3 total cache on my website. Whats your candid advice on this. Is the one you prescribed better. Kind regards

[@darrelwilson]

ahh, i used to use it. i dont think its a major issue, but that plugin will do just fine. You wont see a diference of speed on your website

[@kaigatz]

Hey mate, who created your intro... the music sample sounds quite familiar ^^Fine Young Cannibals, ai?" I was wondering how about the licencing, far more important though. Great Video!

[@darrelwilson]

yup, thats it! i dont think its licensed, im allowed to monetize it.

[@TraeFittz]

Great Video! 👍🏽

[@darrelwilson]

thats brotha!

[@justcallmenat8423]

Would like to ask if the Sumo Me plug in will provide an automatic email system too? I'm new to using Wordpress :)

[@kt2049]

I want to place a replica of a hard copy form on my website. I want people to be able to fill it out and print. When they hit print, I want there data to be saved inside the website. Is this possibl?

[@DogFiles]

Can you make a video tutorial about working on a redesign of a site in a sub domain while the last version is still live and how you switch them when you are done?

[@abdorefky8837]

Great & thanks . i have a question about WP Fastest Cache will it conflict with the following : jetpack wordfence ( this one is very stronge & discover that after 2 day's of searching why my posts wont update :) ) Yoast cache

[@darrelwilson]

eh, I dont really use jetpack too often. If it does conflict, try another plugin. But jetpack does conflict with most other plugins.

[@shikharsaxena2358]

solid list! good job

[@AlexSerranocreativefeather]

David, Thanks a lot. It is a very good video. I will check out your website. Is there an alternative to Bloom that you would recommend without having to purchase the theme?

[@darrelwilson]

you can use sumo me plugin. Its a free email optin form

[@willem878]

Awesome. I have discovered some excellent new plugin by this review. thanks.

[@darrelwilson]

good luck! ill have another one next month, i have discovered some really good ones

[@restfulmeditationforyou397]

Great Video. I'm a new sub. Do you have any videos about voice to text plugin's? I want to enable my end users to use voice command to navigate through app. Thanks for putting this information out there.

[@darrelwilson]

ive never tried that. Im sure its out there somewhere

[@Theokondak]

nice list of plugins! I wonder if divi lets you put some fullscreen video on your theme. I guess there are ways, but is it easily implemented?

[@darrelwilson]

yeah of course! The woocommerce tutorial i have is using the divi full video backround. check it out

[@Theokondak]

+Darrel Wilson i will Darrel! Thanks for replying

[@raulinhojr]

hello, in my wordpress login page, when I login it has the standard light blue customization templates, How do I get the dark templates to customize everything?.... Please help...

[@peggyhall1735]

Hi Darrel. I just completed one of your courses. I was wondering would you recommend bloom and sumo me at the same time? Are they not the same thing?

[@darrelwilson]

i have both lol. But bloom is pretty good

[@RobertDigitalArtist]

Good ones though I would switch out Imagify. Had better results and a few more options. Additionally, I can't go without a custom css plugin like (Yellow Pencil's) Custom SS Pro (is actually free), though probably not that useful for beginners who don't want to code. However, they also have live site editor, a free version and a paid one. It's really for customizing an existing theme that doesn't look exactly how you want it to look, but not so much for building from scratch (there are others out there doing a better job at that). Oh and you gotta have a security (like Wordfence) and a good back up plugin (I use Duplicator, which can backup just pages, posts, uploads, themes, plugins or everything in 1 ZIP).

[@darrelwilson]

yeah wp-clone i heard is good too. I haven't tried duplicator. Mainly because i used the divi theme and you can just copy and paste it on to other websites. I have seen some really cool new page builders though, might have a video on that soon

[@beandavid3651]

I need a photo gallery that keeps all photos in alphabetical order. I have thousands of clip art photos in my computer and I want to upload them all...keeping the name. I also need to have ability to attach "text to speech" plugin as well as put text in the photo with large print. What do you suggest? Also, I am retired teacher with small pension and cannot pay to "try" various plugins that do no t work. Currently using Next Gen and they do not keep alphabetical and the photo grid does not keep the same size. I will try your WP Smush plugin tto see if this helps....Thanks for any help....

[@gssny919]

Wow! Great information. Thanks.

[@darrelwilson]

you are welcome!

[@davidbonvin9478]

Hi Darrel! What about multilingual website? Do you have any experience with creating a multilingual website with Wordpress and plug-in?

[@darrelwilson]

hey david, try any of these www.elegantthemes.com/blog/resources/the-best-10-wordpress-translation-plugins-for-going-multilingual ive heard good things about polylang

[@rinleeds]

one final post. sumome - to get subscribers. any plugin which u can ask what type of subscriber someone is and then send messages to group types? eg i want to ask if subscriber is a trainer or trainee and then send group specific messages. does sumome do this or mail chimp? can sumome link to mail chimp?

[@AlexSerranocreativefeather]

This was an awesome tutorial. What do you think about SiteOrigin? I love their page builder.

[@darrelwilson]

its great for beginners. Once you start you learn more about wordpress i would probably upgrade to the divi builder

[@ronfiedor876]

Great post! Do you have a preferred auction plugin?

[@darrelwilson]

i really dont lol. This could be something i introduce down the road. I think there are a few right?

[@olliestanley8436]

Hi Darrel: My hosting company is Siteground. They have a cache purge and speed program built into all the websites they host. Will this plugin interfere with Sitegrounds in any way? Thank you in advance and your videos are some of the best.

[@darrelwilson]

i think its good, siteground is a pretty solid web hosting company

[@footballsoccerreferee6152]

Thank you for this Darrel, amzing and very informative. When I enabled "WP Fastest Cache" it states: You have to set permalinks and I am not sure what it actuall means, set them to what> Any tips?Thanks

[@darrelwilson]

[@sharondafields5307]

Can you advise me a plugin or a tutorial video?

[@mustafanoon]

Very useful video, good work, but why music?

[@darrelwilson]

man some people told me its good and bad. I still dont know if im going to include it on my future tutorials

[@darrelwilson]

this is because you are using wordpress.com or wordpress.org. To get access to the plugins youll need hosting from a company and use quickinstall

[@rubinskyzlatrovich6731]

So if you have Clef you cant let users register to your page? what if I have a membership site?

[@darrelwilson]

for other users, i dont know. I havent tried this

[@jackietedford6848]

Clef is no more. What do you use to replace it?

[@darrelwilson]

yeah i heard really sucks, ill have a new video soon. maybe wordfence
