Hi!  I'm doing some research for my Minnebar session, and I'd love your input: What is your favorite WP plugin and why?

Thanks!
Toby

For me is Query Monitor and WordFence.

Advanced Custom Fields

I love creating interfaces to make it dead easy for clients to manage and update their website's content.

I'll second Query Monitor for development. I also like Airplane Mode by Andrew Norcross. Not just for traveling but it's good for making sure API calls fail gracefully.

For non-development related plugins WP Mail SMTP solves a big problem with email deliverability. I've also been impressed by Weglot's ability to translate a website.

Since Craig brought up WP Mail SMTP, it reminded me of my love for FluentSMTP. It’s completely free and does things like logging (you have to pay for WP Mail SMTP Pro to get that).

 

Off the top of my head, one I use on pretty much every site is Enable Media Replace.

 

Oh, and Admin Columns (I use Pro). I’d be super crabby if I had to use WordPress without it!

 

Sorry, Toby … did you ask for just one? J

Ah, yes. Another one I like a lot is ASE. I've been able to remove several other plugins (post duplication, media replacement, admin columns, login branding, classic editor, etc) because of this one.
