John
WooCommerce Cart
https://wordpress.org/plugins/side-cart-woocommerce/
The Lowdown;
When your throwing together your Woocommerce site some theme will not have a very clear shopping cart. What this plugin does is add a floating shopping cart to the lower right of the page. When clicked on it opens a sidebar with the contents of the cart making it easy for your visitors to always bet to the cart after adding and then doing something else.

Role Based Redirect
https://wordpress.org/plugins/role-based-redirect/
This is a simple plugin that redirects the user to a specific page or area based on their defined user role. Could be used for a sale for existing customers to show loyalty, or to any other kind of content or checklist.

Duplicate Menu
https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicate-menu/
The Lowdown:
I know I may have reviewed this plugin before but it has been awhile. The great thing about this plugin is when you are upgrading a website and it has a couple menus that are pretty intensive and you want to make changes but not sure it they will be permanent. This plugin let you do one simple thing and that is duplicate the entire menus and in case you only need to remove a couple things this make the job of rebuilding menus an breeze.

Features:

Amazon Associates Link Builder
https://wordpress.org/plugins/amazon-associates-link-builder/
The Lowdown:
So you just finally became an amazon affiliate and want an easy way to add those links while you are building a post or to go back over older posts and add some specific links. This official plugin from Amazon makes it easy to connect to Amazon and to build links right there in the post editor. Just enter a keyword or two from your post and it pops up all the products related to what your word is. Choose your products then the layout and hit enter and it's in.

Show Thumbnail Sizes
https://wordpress.org/plugins/show-thumbnail-sizes-name/
This is a simple, yet clunky plugin that presents you with the exact names and sizes for the plugins and themes that use thumbnails. I can't tell you how many times that I've had to dig into demo content to try and figure out what the actual thumb and featured sizes are. I'm sick of my thumbnails getting cut off due to improper sizing and proportions. Now with this plugin, I no longer have to worry about it.
