John
And first up I have
WordPress Users & WooCommerce Customers Import Export(BASIC)
https://wordpress.org/plugins/users-customers-import-export-for-wp-woocommerce/
The Lowdown:
This is an excellent plugin that allows a quick export of user data and has some controls over what to export, you can determine what columns to export such as names, login name, user id email and password or exclude them during the export.. You can also then re-import new names with ease also. This make the job of cleaning up your user's a bit easier. You can also do many other things with the CSV file.

WooCommerce Customer Care
https://wordpress.org/plugins/woo-customer-care/
It's great to have WooCommerce on board to take different orders. But what is out there that actually helps you fulfill the order once it comes in? Shipping the product out is the most important part, and often that is the worst part about dealing with WooCommerce. WooCommerce Customer Care is a complete customer care system for WooCommerce. You can self-assign or assign an order to another one. When the order was assigned to one manager, another one can’t access and make any change for this order. All actions will be logged and we can easily in track who is caring the order.
FEATURES
- Auto-assign
- Self-assign and assign to another one
- Prevent access when someone is caring an order
- Track all changes

John
Hidden Plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/hidden-plugin/
The Lowdown:
This is a simple plugin you can use as an admin on a site to hide plugins from view of your other admins. This looked to be a pretty cool plugin but alas it would not install due to an error.
I have tested this on a clean dev site now and yes it still has an error but will load and work. It seems to be a pretty good way to hide plugins from others on the site to prevent them from playing with them.

Dontate to Access Content
https://wordpress.org/plugins/cip-dtac-for-give/
This is a Free add-on to Give donation plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/give/) which allows admin to restrict the content of their website until a user has made a donation.
Once a user has made the donation they can access the content. Admin can choose to restrict the content of the site via shortcode or they restrict the entire website or a particular page, post, category, post type, etc… with the help of plugin settings.

Site Search 360
https://wordpress.org/plugins/site-search-360/
The Lowdown:
This is another search plugin in my never ending quest to find a better search function for WordPress since the built in search basically sucks. And unfortunately this plugin will not solve the problem I am looking for as it is a 3rd party system that grabs your data and then indexes it for you. The bigger issues is that it is a freemium service and if you have more than 150 pages or a thousand queries a month you need to start paying for it. I was unable to thoroughly test it as over the last few months I have been moving away from my cowboy coding days into the world of local development and the plugin could not be loaded on my DEV Sandbox site.

Duplicate Widgets
https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicate-widgets/
Simple plugin that lets you duplicate your existing widgets in just one click. It’s made for easier management of widgets, especially if you have a lot of widgets with similar configurations. Essentially this gives you a CLONE link in your widgets where you would normally only see close and delete. This can save you tons of time if you are doing complex widgets that benefit from cloning.
