All Things WordPress: The Essential WordPress Plugins that You Need to be Using

With nearly 50,000 plugins available at wordpress.org (and thousands of other premium plugins out there), it can be hard to sift through the junk to find the gems. During this Meetup, we discussed some of our favorite plugins in various categories and how to properly vet and test a new plugin to know if it’s any good.

In case you missed it, below are the listed plugins and from the presentation. We look forward to seeing you at the next All Things WordPress Meetup!
