These plugins are not included in our Valerian WordPress Build Standards, but we trust them and use them if they are needed for specific functionality.
Plugin Name | Plugin Details | Notes |
Admin Menu Editor Pro | If we build a complex site with a lot of CPTs, we will sometimes use this plugin to customize the admin area. | |
Barn WordPress - Password Protected Categories | This simple plugin is used to bring the page/post password protection to categories and has some extra features like routing to the right category by password. Should not be used for highly sensitive data. | |
Better Search Replace Pro | The free version is sufficient for 90% of migrations. We'll use the premium version if it's really tricky. | |
FacetWP | Elementor is getting better at filtering, but for complex filtering we use FacetWP. | |
Gravity Forms Image Choices | Gravity Forms will soon have this, but until then, we use this if clients need forms styled with image choices. | |
Gravity PDF | The free version is sufficient for many PDF needs, but we have used the premium version for some clients that needed a more customized PDF output. | |
Gravity Wiz | We use this often for complex Gravity Forms builds. Intake forms, calculators, etc. | |
PublishPress Authors | We'll use this for blog sites that have advanced author needs. | |
TranslatePress | This is our go-to for language switcher. Most clients do not want AI/Automatic translations, so this lets them add multiple languages manually. | |
WP Fusion | Our go to for CRM/ESP syncing and advanced personalization. We prefer over the Gravity Forms native add-ons as it's much better. | |
WP Rocket | If we can't get to 90 out of the box of our build, we'll add WP Rocket and can most likely get to the 90s and above on mobile. | |
WP All Export/Import | This plugin is extremely helpful with populating CPTs or posts with data from spreadsheets or other systems. |
