JB Common

Description

A plugin with common features missed in WordPress, like favicon, meta tags, adding HTML to head and footer, WordPress e-mail from header filter, etc.

I’ve developed this plugin for my own job. I’ve realized that when I create a
new WordPress project, there are some features I have to plugin every time. I
decided to bundle they all into a single plugin, and I’m publishing it for
other creators who may find it useful too.

Take a look to the Changelog
for a complete feature list, you may be interested in some of them.

Screenshots

Installation

1. Unzip jb-common.zip inside the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
3. Customize the plugin options for your own site.

FAQ

Why not writting a plugin for each feature?

This plugin was designed for creating new WordPress sites faster, and managing one plugin is faster than managing many.

I need only one of your features and I don’t want to install them all

Feel free to copy the code from that feature to your own plugin, but remember the GNU/GPLv3 or later license!

Will you add new features in the next version?

Maybe. I accept suggestions, tell me on the plugin’s WordPress Extend support section
if you have one. Only features useful on most blogs will be included.
