Copy Posts
https://wordpress.org/plugins/copy-posts/
iPressGo Copy Post allows you to duplicate posts from any WordPress blog with the REST API enabled, onto your own WordPress blog as a draft or published. In addition, create multiple ‘Copy Jobs’ to automatically schedule posts to be duplicated onto your blog.
How it Works:
1) Insert any Blog Link (Home Page or Sub Category) that uses WordPress
2) Set a Start Time, Time Between Posts, Total Copy Limit, and Other Settings
3) Save your Copy Job.
With Copy Post you can syndicate content like a pro by creating multiple Copy Jobs for various blogs and/or content categories. Copy jobs run in the background until you stop them or delete them.
Create higher limits for breaking news and lower limits on filler content. Copy Post will copy the most recent post available according to the schedule and settings you configure.

Self-Hosted Google Fonts
https://wordpress.org/plugins/selfhost-google-fonts/
An easy way to self-host all your Google Fonts for increased Privacy or to meet a law requirement Theme and plugin authors are often unwilling to offer a self-hosted method and it’s quite laborious to download and upload each of the required font.
This plugin makes it all easy. It will scan all CSS on your site and automatically download and host on your server the necessary Google Web Fonts.

Listener Feedback / Audio Clips
We like listener feedback you can leave feedback via our contact page, Speakpipe or email us direct.
Hello.
Sorry if this has been mentioned before.
I listen fairly often. Many of your ratings are 4. There are a few 5's and very few 3's. Since most plugins are a 4 it really doesn't show me how valuable they are or how they compare to other 4 rated apps.
How about if you opened the 4's scale to 4.0, 4.2, 4.4, 4.6, 4.8, (5.0). I think most people don't want to use a plugin if it is 3 unless it's the only one or does the best job. But there is possibly a big difference between a 4.2 app and a 4.6 app. This detail is missing when both apps are a 4.
