There are certain tools that can immensely help in making both setting up the sites and organizing them easier and simpler, simplifying your WordPress backend life.
Contact Form Backup
Forms on sites are the “frontline” points of contact for visitors and potential clients, and it’s extremely important to not lose submissions. There are plugins that store data collected through other forms on the site as well, including Contact Form 7. They help save them in your database so even if you don’t get an alert, you can still view them.
WP Mail SMTP
Another problem that goes hand in hand with Contact Form 7 is emails not sending out through your website. There are plugins that help solve this by reconfiguring the wp_mail() function with proper SMTP credentials, allowing you to connect to various services that help send emails through their servers, resulting in faster emails without any problems.
Duplicator Plugin
Whether it be creating new blog posts, pages, menu items, shop items, or more, sometimes they require the same basic settings and configurations, with just slight edits to the content. You could just duplicate or clone the sock pages and then make fewer changes like just the name and images, with the rest the same.
WordPress App
You can edit pages, manage plugins, and more right from your phone. It’s available on both iOS and Android and allows you to connect to multiple sites to edit and manage each on the go. You can even enable notifications for comments/likes on posts and manage your media. The app also helps track visitors to the site and gives real-time stats and analytics for your sites. Now all your websites travel with you in your pocket wherever you are.
Google Analytics Plugin
It tracks the number of visitors that visit your website, their demographics, how they are finding your website, check which pages and posts on your site get the most visits, and more!
These are a few of several tools you might find extremely useful and worth sharing to help the broader community of developers! Do you use these tools as well? Or if you use any other helpful ones, feel free to share those that make your WordPress backend management simpler and more efficient! Happy WordPress-ing!
