Audio Player Wordpress plugin allows you to insert mp3 audio files into your posts and pages. If you are using the player for a podcasting blog, Audio Player has special options just for you.

Enclosures

If you are unsure what an enclosure is, read the definition on Wikipedia. You have 3 options:

• If you set your enclosures manually, Audio Player can insert a player automatically at the end of your posts. Select the Enclosure integration option in the Audio Player options panel.
• If you let WordPress set enclosures automatically (by reading mp3 links in your posts), you can still use the Enclosure integration option.
• You can also use the [audio] syntax but you must use absolute URLs:

AdSense-Deluxe is an easy-to-use plugin for WordPress 1.5+ (including WP 2.0) for quickly inserting Google or Yahoo! ads into your blog posts, and managing when and where those ads are displayed. It was developed for my own use after an exhaustive search for a similar tool turned up nothing adequate. Have a look at the following features.

Features:

• Use simple HTML comments for embedding AdSense or Yahoo! Publisher Network ads in a WordPress post
• Choose from any number of ad styles and format on a post-by-post basis
• Globally change ad styles
• Selectively disable display of individual ad styles or all ads
• Integrated AdSense Preview tool (a sandbox) for seeing what ads will appear on a given page. (Stand-alone AdSense SandBox Tool also available)
• All settings configured through WordPress Options interface (no knowledge of plugins or PHP required)
• Easily test different ad formats and color styles across (all, or) a range of blog posts.
• (Optionally) Apply CSS formatting to the AdSense code.
• Does not display live ads when editing a page, instead placeholders are shown.
• Ads are EXCLUDED from RSS feeds — even if you have full-text feeds enabled. (new in v0.3)
• Preview your ad blocks from the AdSense-Deluxe options page (in case you forget what the ad style looks like), and ads can be clicked without penalty since they use a test account.
• Support for wp-tiger-admin plugin’s CSS in post/page editor QuickTags

Technically Exec-PHP executes code inside of <?php ?> tags by just wrapping your whole text into ?> <?php tags and hand it over to the PHP eval() function. By that no parsing of your code needs to be done by the plugin itself. Although the plugin adds some security features, it is not recommended to use the plugin in WordPress installations with untrusted users.

With Exec-PHP you can execute PHP code in the excerpt and the content portion of your posts and pages (in the following called articles) as also as in text widgets. To execute code, just type in the PHP code as you usually would.

WP-Cache is an extremely efficient WordPress page caching system to make your site much faster and responsive. It works by caching Worpress pages and storing them in a static file for serving future requests directly from the file rather than loading and compiling the whole PHP code and then building the page from the database. WP-Cache allows to serve hundred of times more pages per second, and to reduce the response time from several tenths of seconds to less than a millisecond.

WP-Cache started from the “Staticize Reloaded” by matt and billzeller. Most of their recommendations also apply to WP-Cache. Current version, WP-Cache2, is a huge improvement over previous versions of WP-Cache.

For the best results using FeedBurner with your self-hosted WordPress site, we recommend the FeedBurner FeedSmith plugin (originally authored by the awesome Steve Smith). The plugin will detect all ways to access your feed (e.g. http://www.yoursite.com/feed/ or http://www.yoursite.com/wp-rss2.php, etc.), and redirect them to your FeedBurner feed so you can track every possible subscriber. It will forward for your main posts feed, and optionally your main comments feed as well.

What Others Are Saying allows you to display the most recent post of your favourite blogs somewhere on your site. It utilises the RSS link field from the blogroll for each of your links. If the RSS link exists it attempts to get the last post from it. It then displays the most recent X number of posts depending on your settings. Each blog can have one post in the list.

The plugin simply outputs the post and site name wrapped in a list item, so you would need to insert the above code into either an unordered or ordered list, and also give it a header. So that people don’t need to edit the plugin file to change their markup.

Requirements: Wordpress 2.0.7+
