When I was younger I wanted to be a boy cuz boys are so much cooler. Now I'm glad I'm a girl cuz boys are so much cooler.

WordPress Plugin Reviews: Star Rating, One Click

August 12th, 2007

I’ve decided to review plugins I test, since I try so many.

Star Rating

First off, I have Star Rating, the review plugin I’m currently using for star rating! It’s exactly what I wanted. Extremely easy to use (especially after fiddling with WP Review Stuff and one I couldn’t even get to work–the URL/name slips my mind), it displays very nice images that will work for probably anyone (yes, I’m using the default images) and is very well documented.

One Click

This is two things, a plugin, and a Firefox extension. The plugin can probably be used stand-alone (but if you have Firefox, by all means use the extension!). The Plugin: With the plugin, you can delete plugins from your server from your administration, which is very handy if you don’t want to or can’t bring up an FTP client! The Extension: Working in conjunction with the plugin, you right-click a .zip file, hover over One-Click Install, choose whether you want to install a plugin or theme, then it’ll download and unzip it on your server in the proper place. Then takes you to your admin (the one-click page, actually, then you have to go to your plugin page–the only gripe I have…I think it’d be better if it went directly to the Plugins page), where you can then activate the plugin. Awesome overall!

    It is not an easy achievement, Benji always wins :(

    I think I’m going to do the number 1 plugin, seems logical ;)
