Custom Comment Notifications

https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-comment-notifications/

 

The Lowdown:

This is a great plugin to customize the outgoing email provided by WordPress. It allows you to make custom changes to what is otherwise a bland email and sometimes not clear. You can add several varables to make the emails you get more understandable customize the subject line so they get thugh your spam trap and if you have multiple sites you can know at a glance which site it is from. All in all preyy good.

Rating 4 Dragons

 

 

Outdated Post Notice

https://wordpress.org/plugins/outdated-post-notice/

The Lowdown:

Ok while I had hoped this would be a universal setting for posts and would be good for my upcoming upgrade changeover to be able to let people know what content was dated. It turns out this plugin set the time line on a per post basis. I unfortunately do not have the time to go though all my posts to set that up. While this can still be a great plugin to use on your site I do not see a great use for it if you have been accumulating content for a long time and wanted a universal way to let folks know some of it was dated.

Peekaboo Timer

Premium Plugin

Available at Code Canyon http://codecanyon.net/item/peekaboo-timer/7197988?ref=Ahkonsu

referred to us by Oktal Studio

The Lowdown

This plugin has some rally great uses for your content, what it does is allow you to reveal/hid content based on several criteria, date, days of week, time, time zone odd days even days, hide during certain months or reveal. Basically just about any way you would like to share/hide/reveal your content or parts of your content on a post by post basis. This can be a great way to run a special event and have the content disappear automatically and still leave other information on the posts that is still relevant.

All in all a pretty useful plugin

rating 4 Dragons.
