I've always set it as alpha as i find it more aesthetically pleasing, but seo comes first! so will start chaniging.

Thanks for that. Been trying this out and it's the best social plugin I've used on WP

I've been using Drupal for years but with so many better themes and designers for Wordpress I'm thinking of switching. What would people recommend for handling feeds etc in Wordpress (ie updating prices, and displaying and formatting data - ideally with the flexibility to make them unique in one way or another) I'm not really looking to dump 1,000 products into 1,000 posts on my homepage, but something a little more nuanced. Any ideas?

I use these among others:
Easy Privacy Policy (but remove the spam links)
Meta Tag Manager

Has anyone used a link cloaking plugin for affiliate links? i've previously done redirects in htaccess but wonder if any plugins are quicker?

viceroy · 21-02-2012, 09:23:26 PM

Try 'redirection' seems like a popular choice...

Pretty Link Lite works fine for me ....

I use the "Clean Up" plugin which gets rid of crap left in the database if you have been messing around with importing affiliate datafeeds, keeps things in good order.

Another tip, get all your fav plugins into a Windows folder and upload them via FTP in one hit to your PlugIns folder on the web server, then just update the ones that need updating - this will save you loads of time searching and adding each one in turn from within WP Admin.
