Today I am reviewing three great plugins.
John
And first up I have
WP-SpamShield
It can be found here
https://www.redsandmarketing.com/plugins/wp-spamshield/
The Lowdown:
This plugin never really came up before mostly because I has settled into an anti spam plugin and no its not aksimet…. I saw some of the #WPDrama around this plugin and though it deserved a crack at the bat. You can read all about it in the links below.
Well this looks to be a pretty easy anti spam plugin that will make a great alternative to what I am using and well anything is better than akismet. The setup is pretty easy and even have built in anti spam for the most popular forms such as contact 7 and gravity. It even has builtin block too stop email harvester and more this is one you should definitely check out
WP-Spamshield links to the #WPDrama they were involved in.

WHMCS Bridge and pro version
https://wordpress.org/plugins/whmcs-bridge/
The Lowdown:
As discussed before I run a small hosting business that I am starting to take more seriously since what has been attempted with the show has failed to produce the desired results. So I am adding more functionality and stronger presence in the WordPress hosting business. This plugin is designed to help those who use WHMCS as their billing platform to be able to integrate it into WordPress.
This plugin integrates easier than any I have attempted to use in the past and provided a clean SSO integration between your WHMS billing software and your WordPress website so your clients can use both with ease.
It also allows you to display your hosting purchase pages from WHMCS with ease. The premium version is required for many of the extended features but is worth the cost

With that said after almost 20 months of running this show this way and working towards hopefully having it user supported it appears that this is not to be the case with our audience. Going forward the show will continue but it will take a back seat to my primary business that is WordPress Hosting, development and repairs.

PuppyFW
https://wordpress.org/plugins/puppyfw/
The Lowdown:
This plugin was sent in to us for review and while I endeavorer to test every plugin I just did not have time to fully test this one. It does look to be a slightly complicated builder plugin that they claim is easy but just watching thier YouTibe video I cann see it is a bit of work to get everything working he way you might want it to.
It does look to be useful so not to be dismissed completely out of hand you may want to chek it out if you have not settled on a builder you might find it easy for you.
