With that, let's dive right into the meat and potatoes. I have a great set of plugins for you today!
To start off I have a plugin that I have yet to use but thought you might want to know they exist. Keep in mind the ratings are based off the descriptions on their site and using their demo if available.

Fix Media Library
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wow-media-library-fix/
The Lowdown:
If you've ever had issues with your media library when doing a theme upgrade or for some other random reason this plugin may help you get it all back on track.
It is useful when:
- Really old database is used and there are a lot of problems with Media Library found
- New thumbnail sizes are registered
- Some thumbnail sizes are not used anymore (theme change, upgrade), but image files are still exists
- There are Media Library entries present pointing to image files that don’t exist anymore
- Some entries in Media Library are not displayed, while image files are present (_wp_attachment_metadata meta field corrupted)
- There are a lot of images in wp-content/uploads folder that are no longer used
- There are duplicate attachments pointing to the same image file
- Images are used by website, but you can’t find them in Media Library
- You want to update attachments GUID fields containing old/staging urls
- Detects major database corruptions affecting media library functionality

ClassicPress Options
Since the release of Gutenberg, and its fallout, ClassicPress has garnered a lot 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 coming into its own a bit and with some plugins now being created specifically for ClassicPress I do believe it has a future.
One thing I am looking forward to in the ClassicPress World is the expansion of the number of ClassicPress specific plugins and their own repository. Currently there are not a lot of ClassicPress specific plugins but I do know it is going to grow and I'll have to expand this segment then. Who knows, it could take over the whole show.
This week for ClassicPress I have:
