I’ve been wanting to publish an article like this since November but I waited a little bit for developers to launch other new interesting and useful WordPress plugins besides the ones that I gathered till then.
Nimble Portfolio
Using this free plugin you can transform your portfolio in to a cutting edge jQuery powered gallery that lets you feature and sort your work like a pro.
Rotating Lightbox Gallery
This is a highly customizable jQuery Slider plugin. You can set its width, height, pagination and other parameters.
WP Visual Pagination
WP VisualPagination is an advanced pagination theme framework built on top of the popular WP PageNavi plugin pre-loaded professionally designed pagination themes. WP VisualPagination allows you create or customize simple CSS pagination themes or complex image based pagination themes.
Cyclone Slider
Uses jQuery Cycle plugin with 25+ transitions, easy-to-use interface with drag and drop functionality, multiple slideshows, individual slideshow settings, shortcode, and customizable templates.
HTML5 jQuery Audio Player
This trendy looking music player lets you add a single audio track or a full playlist to your WordPress site using shortcode. You can customise the colours of the player, and also display ratings, album cover art, and buy/download link if needed. This audio player is different from others on offer because it works on all major browsers, both PC and Mac, and on mobile devices including iPhone/iPad. Plus it looks really cool!
Easy Table
Easy Table is a WordPress plugin that allow you to insert table in easy way. Why it’s easy? Because you don’t need to write any complicated HTML syntax. Note that this plugin is not a graphical user interface table generator, so you can simply type your table data directly in your post while you writing. No need to switch to another window nor click any toolbar button.
Capability Manager Enhanced
Capability Manager plugin provides a simple way to manage WordPress role definitions (Subscriber, Editor, etc.) View or change the capabilities of any role, add new roles, copy existing roles into new ones, and add new capabilities to existing roles. You can also delegate capabilities management to other users. In this case, some restrictions apply to this users, as they can only set/unset the capabilities they have. With the Backup/Restore tool, you can save your Roles and Capabilities before making changes and revert them if something goes wrong. You’ll find it on the Tools menu.
Drop Shadow Boxes
Drop Shadow Boxes provides an easy way to highlight important content on your posts, pages and widget areas. Personalise the box with drop shadow effects like raised, lifted and perspective and choose whether the box has an inside shadow, outside shadow and rounded corners. The plugin includes a widget and shortcode builder with a preview so you can test your box before adding it. The shadows will display correctly on most browsers – some older versions of Internet Explorer may not display the shadows – but they will display the box with the content so nothing will be missing on the page.
Auto Image Resizer Lite
The “Auto Image Resizer” is a state of the art WordPress Plugin which reduces your uploaded images to the maximal used image dimensions of your WordPress website.
If the uploaders (author, member, whoever) browsers supports html5, gears, flash or silverlight the images will be resized directly on the client otherwise the server will do that. So the plugin works in every case regardless of the clients browser or OS.
WunderSlider Gallery
This plugin provides an automated way to convert any standard WordPress gallery that is embedded on a page using the shortcode into a WunderSlider.
