Recently my friend, also a developer and SEO specialist, a great plugin appeared, the possibilities of which I allow to make of CMS WordPress a complete system for developing any type of sites. And when I say any, that's exactly what I mean!

Those who have encountered Views plugin in CMF Drupal know how useful this plugin is, for those who do not know, I will describe each of the plugins of this cool pack separately.

Types plugin for WordPress

Into WordPress initially there are several basic data types “Pages” and “Posts”. With help API WordPress you can create your data types, but it's quite a laborious process.. When deadlines are tight and there is still a lot to be done, then on the quality development of types, additional fields, there is simply no time left for metboxes and the like. Do not make websites anyway?! Public and free plugins can not always provide the desired functionality. This is exactly what the plugin was designed for. WordPress Types, which, by the way, is free and at the same time, can already greatly simplify your development task. I advise you to download and try.

With the help of the plugin, I successfully created the type of partners and employees on the test site. I still love its simplicity and functionality. ).

Views Plugin for WordPress

If anyone has worked with SQL he knows how to write database queries and that sometimes these queries turn out to be huge. It is not difficult to create a query for output in two columns from several categories, but if we need to create an output of individual categories from the real estate database and sort them by several parameters, and even tougher, if we are making a social network and need to link all fields with all data, there is darkness. Doing this manually is inconvenient., but with the help of the Views plugin, it is easy and much faster to make the necessary selection and sort the data, than in code. plugin Views in conjunction with Types give a very large development tool for creating data types of their output, sorting, creating separate content output templates for both pages and posts, so for categories and archives. Making a separate template for the main page is not a problem at all and you can display it as you like.

You need to tinker with the study of the plugin, it took me about a day to review it and create a test site. After that, I was ready to take on more serious projects..

My take on the plugin. If you need to make a website with different data outputs, bunch of sliders, multi-columnar with interleaved columns 2-3-5 etc., then the plugin Views for WordPress along with the plugin Types you will be just, what do you need.

Access Plugin for WordPress

Access is a plugin for assigning privileges to users using WordPress Access API. Think, not much to describe, how important it is not to let your registered users climb, where not to.

I often have the task of distributing rights at the end of project development, when I transfer the rights to complete the project to the site owner.

Creating Custom WordPress Roles

Often the project is filled by several managers and in this case they may have different swarms and rights, plugin Access will help you create roles for each of the managers.

CRED - Front-End Content Creation and Editing

I have been looking for a plugin for a long time Front-End forms WordPress, who does not know this filling of different types of data by users.

If you will use Types + Views + CRED, then you can easily manipulate all the created data types and groups of fields that belong to these types. Again, the plugin uses API WordPress for work and gets along great with CMS.

This plugin is suitable for creating surveys or tests on the site.. There is an excellent intuitive form generator, which supports input, chackbox, radio, textarea, hidden, text, submit fields. You can set up notifications when a user fills out a form on the site, then redirect it to the desired URL. Found only one flaw, which the developers promise to fix soon, is that the textarea field is always with the visual editor.

I almost forgot, if you bought any of the plugins, then you get lifetime support on the forum from the developers. Problems and inconveniences that were in the first versions Views solved literally from the next version, which came out within a month..

The coolest, the fact that all plugins work according to the official API WordPress and they just don't have conflicts with others. All well-made plugins pick up data types on the fly, created via types, work with privileges in Access forms in CRED.

You can buy plugins as separately, so all at once, this will give you a good discount on them. A year ago this plugin cost 49$, at the time of writing, these plugins have risen in price to 149$, since the functionality for the year has grown once a 5 minimum. And I want to remind you again, what if you buy the plugin, then you can always download new versions from the official site, the purchase is now permanent. Please read the terms and conditions, can still change.
