How in God's name is there 3 (at time of commenting) thumbs down? The effort this man put in to bring free content to help us all is endless. As always, thanks Adam
He is getting dislikes because technically this content isn't "free", he's making money out of this as you can see he even puts ads on his youtube videos. "Who cares, his content is still free" you might ask, well still not really since you potentially giving your money away to an ad on his video thus losing your money. Anyway the point is he's not doing this for charity or out of good will.
@@SorakaOTP462 what's wrong with putting food on the table? You speak as if making money while helping others is a bad thing, when in fact that's keeps economies going.
I've been following Adam for quite some time. I love how he goes back and revisits topics over time. What an amazingly valuable resource we have. THANKS AP !!!!
Our? That is yours Verdi? Or you have a fork / improvement coming? I would page for a code snippet library. I mean really, isin't that all that many plugins are, code snippets.
Excellent video Adam...If I could suggest 1 thing when you're doing "Top10" type videos... Many of the plugins we will know about...others we won't...if you put time-stamp links in your description to jump to the ones people don't know about..it would make watching videos more efficient and valuable. Thanks for all you do.
Adam, another smash hit of a video! I’m going to be taking a dive into the SEO plugin you brought to light that isn’t Yoast! I’m excited to see how they perform! Super stoked to find out more about the new block for EP blocks for Gutenberg!
Very great information again as usual Adam. When Rank Math is ready to go with their upgraded version, please make a video. I currently use SEOpress and haven't had any issues requiring support. However, I'm always looking to use the best tool. Thanks for all you do for the Wordpress community and beyond.
Great list! I would definitely add WP Rollback to this list. Downgrading a plugin (and finding previous versions) is not easy, but WP Rollback makes it super easy.
Thanks for sharing this helpful & wonderful video. I really appreciate your hard work. One of my favorite plugin is SearchIQ. I like the analytics part, it allows to see which queries are the most searched and get the most clicks. We can also highlight the search term, can assign color, autocomplete, facet and more great features. That’s a great user experience and something that could turn those visitors into regular visitors.
Your tutorial style(and diction) is brilliant. Can I use the BLOG section of my website to index my podcast? Thanks so much. Any thoughts from the community?
Very clear as usual but what about AMP compatibility for all these plugins? Could you please do a new AMP video with everything that's happening in AMP? You're very right about companies with a business model
Hey Adam, great video. I'm just starting a free wordpress site. Can you tell me if it's just better for me to get my own hosting and domain another words a paid wordpress site? If so do you have a video for this topic? Thanks. 👍
Adam, if you're using Elementor, what use do you have for Gutenberg blocks? Can they be used at the same time? When would you use Gutenberg vs. Elementor? Thank you!
Hi WP Crafter, Firstly I want to thank you so much for your videos, they have been amazingly helpful, so clear and easy for a non tech person such as myself to start getting my head around WP sites. I have a question or suggestion for a video, my problem is I run a recruiting site with WP Job Manager and when someone wants to buy a job ad on our site the system is not very intuitive and doesn’t look very beautiful so we lose a lot of sales, do you have any videos that show how to edit the appearance of WP Job Manager or similar and integrate a sales funnel into it?, if not thought I would let you know as it may be a good video topic for many of us? Best wishes and keep up the amazing work,
Thanks for this. Great, no-nonsense list of plugins. Made me reconsider my choice of plugins. Btw, what's your oppinion on Ninja forms? I glanced at your channel but haven't seen you mention it.
Very nice video, I was wondering if you could use elementor to customize product pages that you have already created? Also, you recommend Rank Math or Yoast for a beginner at free version?
What free plugins are you all using for CDN, code shrinking, speed measurement and update management? Thanks for the video Adam. This is a super useful one. See so many "Best wordpress plugin" posts and this is way more useful than they seem to be.
Hello, I am very impressed with your videos but I need your help to find a plugin that I can use for decimal qualities for e-commerce shop so that any buyer can input values like 0.50kg to 2kg of products
Hey Adam, there is currently an LTD for Astra Security right now. Wanted to see what your input is. Should I just stick with iTheme Security (free version) or get this deal?
Adam cant you make a tutorial on dynamic website building? Create like a real estate listing website or something like that. Could be fun to see. Also i feel that dynamic content, with custom fields etc. is becoming the new thing..
I have not gone through your list of videos but my big big big issue is SEO. My sites are decently built and look OK, but nobody could find them. I did extremely poorly in SEO and frankly I don't know how to find the right keywords and SEO is a huge mystery to me. I hope you could direct me to some good hopefully free tools on keywords and do more teaching on SEO's. I find this area must be the killer factor that my sites have extremely low visitors.
Hi Adam, I hope you're doing great. Can you suggest what are the best plugins for WordPress to create a multi vendor e-commerce website ? Plugins that can allow vendors to manage their accounts on front end.
great and useful video Adam 👍 i just like to suggest to have two different backup plugins for more security, and i use BackWPup in addition to Updraft. very solid, with free version, and you can send your backups to dropbox for free.
Can you do a full tutorial video on how to edit your site offline without bringing it down? Then I could upload the changes after I have maintained it. Sometimes I made bigger changes to my sites and all I knew was bringing them down.
hey Adam, what do you think of sg optimizer? thank you for your videos it is helping me build out the website i want and make sure its safe and runs good.
Brilliant! Brilliant! Still waiting on that Cloudways video you promised. Your personal step by step set up. I know you got another classic in you. :) Very Best Regards, Long time Fan
Thanks for your reply. I didn't ask the question properly. I want to hide the price until the customer has logged in / made an account. Then it will show the price. I will look into the Kadence theme and also keep an eye out on the newest video. Thanks again!
Thanks Adam - Great video. I have heard of most of them but not tried some of them. Excellent to see them in your recommendation. looking for new form as Caldera is getting a lot of spam and no coms from developer - will check tem all out them. thanks again
Great Video ! Btw just need some help ! I’m looking for a plugin which will broadcast a email to all my previous clients who have purchased from my website , for example I list new stock my website every Friday 8.30pm I need some Plugin which will automatically email my clients and let them know new stock has arrived , any suggestions on which plugin will work ?
Thanks for the video Adam! My malcare & blogvault limit is up, i am finding new security and backup plugin. Ithemes Security and Updrafts is what I have seen you mention multiple times - what would you suggest to an agency - paid or free version of both of them?
Sir i face a problem showing my wordpress website i have link my database for customers to read their bill history to search from reference number but when customers goes to search bill showing in browser content blocked how will solve it
@@MacAutomationTips Pretty sure SiteGround only have 30 days of backup. If your site got hacked 31 days ago and you only just noticed then you won't have a clean backup. I have just started using UpdraftPlus but have used Duplicator for years.
Win Win Internet Solutions, hmmm, I get your point, but I never go more than a week without working on my sites. At minimum, every Friday I manually update all the plugins for each site. I did though install UpdraftPro in one of sites after viewing the video, but unfortunately the backup didn't complete. I'll need to spend time next week figuring out what's going on. Ugh, never ending troubleshooting issues.
Win Win Internet Solutions, also, I noticed today that SiteGround allows for making an a remote backup of your websites. I haven't tried it yet, but it's good to know.
I’m waiting for your click funnel Wordpress alternative video, would it be released, if so when? Because you said it would be released tonight 4 days back and still that night has not arrived...
For performance I really like Litespeed Cache. Autoptimize was great for a while until it conflicted with other plugins and caused an issue. LS Cache has been awesome from day one. Just my two cents.
Awesome recommendations as always. I think HappyForms should be on this list too. I recently started using it and been happy with it. Have you tried that out yet?
just curious, if you optimize your own images before putting them on your website, lets say, keeping all of your images below, at most, about 300 kb, should you still use "optimizing" plug-ins?
If your host is providing a paid license for free, you might as well keep it. However if you are using the free version, there's much better options out there and Jetpack tends to slow your website down.
Thank you Adam, very interesting. I am looking for a plug in that filters by price range, brand and category at the same time, like what Amazon does. Do you have any suggestions?
Can Updraft back up to your computer's drive? I want to back up my church's website and they are, for some reason, using their web host to store all their sermon mp3s, so, in other words, it's gonna be YUGE!
How in God's name is there 3 (at time of commenting) thumbs down? The effort this man put in to bring free content to help us all is endless.

Thanks for the backup! Yea I attract trolls because I have opinions.
They could be dyslexic or they accidentally hit the dislike. That's the only plausible reason! Thank you for sharing your expertise!

just curious, if you optimize your own images before putting them on your website, lets say, keeping all of your images below, at most, about 300 kb, should you still use "optimizing" plug-ins?
It depends on how you initially optimize it. What I have found is even if I exported optimize, there still more optimizations that can be done.
Yeah because optimizers can also generate the WebP files that supported browsers will be served and it makes your site faster

It handles backups and security, and came preinstalled by my host, but I don't see it mentioned here at all.
