The infamous MaxBlogPress plugins are being removed from the WordPress repository. In order to activate these plugins, users were required to submit their email address for daily spamming.

I have rewritten one such plugin. It is still listed in the repository, but if you would like access to this plugin without the required opt-in, and written in the updated WordPress 2.8 format to make it compatible with my Display Widgets plugin, just send a donation with a comment requesting the widget and I will send it to you within 24 hours.

This is a full featured multiple instance supported page manage widget with configurable options to control parameters like sort options, exclude pages, depth etc features in your sidebar.

Features

• Multiple instance of the widget can be created
• Easy to use widget control panel
• Multiple pages parameter configuring options

Quickly and easily build forms with a simple drag-and-drop interface and in-place editing.
There are dozens of form-building plugins out there to create forms, but most are confusing and overly complicated. With Formidable, it is easy to create forms within a simple drag-and-drop interface. You can construct custom forms or generate them from a template. Shortcodes can be used as well as spam catching services.

If you’re using BuddyPress 1.1+ and displaying site wide posts, this plugin is a necessary replacement for the one that comes packaged with BuddyPress. The widget options include title, posts per page, and previous and next link titles.

Instead of adding Terms and Conditions to the signup page, this plugin presents all users except admins with your terms and conditions the first time they login. The Admin menu is hidden until they accept your terms if the option to require agreement on ‘All Admin pages’ is selected. Existing users and those added in the admin will also need to agree to the Terms and Conditions on their next log in. After the terms are accepted, users are presented with a fully customizable welcome message to help them get started using WordPress.

NOTE: As of version 1.7, adding terms check box to WPMU registration wasn’t working properly. Although the terms check box is required, it does not save the user agreement.

Features

• Fully customizable Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy and welcome message.
• No changes need to be made to the Sign up process.
• Existing users can agree to terms.
• Users can view the terms at any time.
• The date the user agreed is displayed on the profile page with a link to the terms.
• Option to clear all agreement dates when the terms are changed so users will need to reaccept terms.
• Option to show agreement date on profile.
• Option to require user initials on agreement.
• Option to require terms agreement on comment form in WordPress version 2.9 and above.
• Shortcode [ terms-of-use ] (without spaces) for use in pages or posts for WordPress version 2.8 and above.
• Select a front-end page to protect. If user is not logged in, a cookie will be set when terms are accepted.

Installation

WordPress

1. Upload `terms-of-use` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. Go to the ‘Settings’ menu and select ‘Terms of Use’ to customize settings.
4. Select either ‘Show on Checked’ or ‘Hide on Checked’ from the drop-down and check the boxes.

WPMU

Same as above except go to the ‘Site Admin’ menu and select ‘Terms of Use’ to customize settings.

Users can view the terms under the ‘Dashboard’ menu. There will be an option to change this in a future release, but for now in order to move it, change ‘index.php’ on line 14 of tou-config.php to ‘tools.php’, ‘options-general.php’, or something else. Make sure the user groups that need to accept terms have access to the menu you place it under.

Adapted from Levi Putna’s Terms of Use plugin.

Change your sidebar content with each page. Avoid creating multiple sidebars and duplicating widgets by adding check boxes to each widget in the admin (as long as it is written in WordPress version 2.8 format) which will either show or hide the widgets on every site page. Great for use with Thesis theme, or just to avoid extra coding.

UPDATE: You can now use the Contact Form 7 shortcodes in text widgets. This plugin is no longer needed. If you’re looking for an easier alternative to Contact Form 7, try Formidable. If you’re using this widget for the styling, please note you can also use the Formidable shortcode in place of the Contact Form 7 shortcode.

The Contact Form 7 Widget plugin includes many widget options and must be used alongside either Formidable or Contact Form 7 plugin. We only support the widget plugin and Formidable, but not Contact Form 7. For help and support for the Contact Form 7 plugin, click here.

Installation

1. Download Formidable or Contact Form 7 plugin.
2. Download the Contact Form 7 Widget plugin.
3. Activate both plugins.
4. A new menu is now beneath the regular menu items. Copy the form shortcode at the top of the page ie [ formidable id=2] or [contact-form 1 "Contact form 1"]
5. Go to “Widgets” in the “Appearance” menu.
6. Find “Contact Form 7 Widget” and drag it to your sidebar.
7. Update the settings and paste the right shortcode in the “Contact Form 7 Tag” line.
