We also have more contests coming for premium licenses from generous plugin developers so stay tuned.

Make sure you checkout the WPSupport store. where you can get direct access to some of the best plugins we have reviewed located all in one place. We do not host the plugins but provide the link to download it direct from WordPress.org or the plugin developer, and they may occasionally have an affiliate link but not too often since that adds a whole new layer of work to what I have to do.

For developers who find value in what I am doing here please donate that value back to the show.

This is a short and sweet autocopmplete plugin, useful for autocompleting words, as the post author types the contents in the WordPress content area. By default, “WordPress” is the only word, which is autocompleted. So after installing and activating the plugin, when you, as an author, start typing the blog contents, after adding a new post, and when when you type “wo” , a small autocomplete box pops up beneath, with “WordPress” written on it. If you want to type “WordPress”, you can click on that widget, or if you want to type “wolverine” , you can keep typing, ignoring the widget. For adding more words, go to settings=>autocomplete options In the top row, there is a text box and a button. Type the word you want to add and press the “add word” button. This text box accepts only alphanumeric inputs. Now the new word is added in the list. To reset the list, press the “reset” button. And the list now resets to the original value “WordPress” This plugin uses “textcompleter” Jquery plugin
