Wordpress plugins and hacks

3This is a post collecting some plugins and solutions I’ve found for Wordpress. I’ll keep adding links as I find new things. Most of these are from posts in the WordPress261 category, but these are direct links to the hack/plugin itself, not to my posts about them (unless that’s the source of the hack), so it should be more handy.

Wordpress errors:

1. WordPress 406 errors “Not acceptable…”262
2. WordPress “You don’t have permission to do that” error263

Plugins/Widgets:

For functionality…

1. Add To Any264 - very low clutter plugin/widget for people to bookmark your posts and subscribe to RSS.
2. Another low-clutter widget solution to bookmarks and subscriptions: RSS Subscriber265
3. A dropdown category widget266 that works better than most
4. Preview Theme267 lets you view your new theme without visitors seeing it
5. A plugin that very easily lets you create a horizontal drop down menu in the header of your WordPress template268. Amazing out of the box, also very customizable.
