The next plugin I have for you is:
Remove noreferrer from post's links on the frontend
https://wordpress.org/plugins/remove-noreferrer/
The Lowdown
There is a great article on why this plugin exists here https://searchtraffic.com/rel-noreferrer-guide/ but on the whole it boils down to WordPress making some changes in its default settings for link creation. This is relevant if you are link me and use allot of links that open in new windows.
What they have done is now it automatically adds rel=”noopener noreferrer” to the code. While the noopener is great for security the no refererrer impacts tracking of where a click comes from. The noreferrer removes all references to the site the click originated from fo Google analytics does not pick up where it came from.

Transition 3 Here to next Plugins <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Next up I have:
Honeypot WooCommerce – WordPress AntiSpam
https://wordpress.org/plugins/honeypot-woocommerce-wp-antispam/
The Lowdown:
Well it looks like someone took to heart my hopes that there is a WordPress version of the Honey pot plugin for ClassicPress I covered in episode 402 this is a new plugin and only has 10 installs as of this show.
This plugin activates and help prevent spam registrations in WordPress, WooCommerce and the comments box. Starting to like see the cross pollination of the the two CMS systems.
Simple easy and just works install and activate.

ClassicPress Options
Since the release of Gutenberg, and it fallout ClassicPress has garnered allot of attention. This is a fork of WordPress and is focused on Business Websites and is looking pretty good. It does seem in the past few months ClassicPress is comming into its own a bit and with some plugins now being created specifically for ClassicPress I do believe it has a future.
This weeks ClassisPress plugin is:
Add Twitter Cards by azurecurve
The Lowdown:
This is a plugin you will want on your ClassicPress site so that when your visitors are sharing your posts on Twitter it adds the proper Twitter card.
Add Twitter Cards to attach rich photos to Tweets, helping to drive traffic to your website.
https://development.azurecurve.co.uk/classicpress-plugins/add-twitter-cards/
Options allow:
- Card Types of Summary or Summary With Images.
- Excerpt or first 200 characters of post added to card.
- Thumbnail or first post image will be added to card.
- Integrate with Floating Featured Image plugin for card image.

Side note I noticed that when you are doing a search using the repository it show you right away if the plugins are compatible with your version of Classic Press. You can also search with the tag “ClassicPress” to find plugins made to work in Classicpress
To find a listing of ClassicPress specific plugins check out this link https://forums.classicpress.net/t/plugins-built-specifically-for-classicpress/1011?u=codepotent there is currently 37 plugins here and growing I look forward to the day they have their own repository. I can still recall WP when is had a small repository.
Closing out this Episode The Plugins I covered where:
John’s Plugins: BP Better Messages – 3, WP Tag You – 3, Remove noreferrer – 4, Honeypot WooCommerce – WordPress AntiSpam – 5, Add Twitter Card – 4
