\"Clyde<\/a><\/td>\nAnswer:<\/strong> When it comes to WordPress plugins, I must admit, I have not looked into which plugin is best for specific tasks. Instead, I use the rating system provided on the WordPress website (wordpress.org) for each plugin. I choose to use or not use WordPress plugins based on five of WordPress’s rating criteria:<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Number of downloads (the more the better)<\/li>\n
  2. Star rating (the higher number the better)<\/li>\n
  3. Last updated (usually I look for 6-12 months ago)<\/li>\n
  4. Compatibility (is it compatible with my current install)<\/li>\n
  5. Does it work?(according to users does it work with my install)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you use this system I think you will get a good idea as to what many users think about various plugins. Good luck!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
