Here is the first draw of plugins list for 2014 handpicked by SynapseIndia which is making life easy for Wordpress website developers

1. Top 10 Free
WordPress Plugins

2. What is WordPress?
WordPress is a free, web-based software
program that anyone can use to build and
maintain a website or blog. It was originally
intended as an easy way to set up a blog. But,
thanks to the efforts of a large “open source”
community of WordPress programmers
working to extend and improve its capabilities,
WordPress has become much more than just a
tool for bloggers. Today’s WordPress is really a
“content management system” (CMS),
which means that it can be used to run fullsized, social media-rich business websites.

3. WordPress Plugins
WordPress started as just a blogging
system, but has evolved to be used as
full content management system and so
much more through the thousands of
plugins,
widgets
and
themes,
WordPress is limited only by your
imagination.

4. #1 - Restrict Widgets
Restrict Widgets is an allin-one solution for
widget and sidebar
management. This can
be used to easily control
which pages each
widget is displayed on.
User roles can also be
defined to manage the
widgets. The plugin is
compatible with multisite
and supports multiple
languages including the
WPML plugin.

5. #2 - Vimeography
Vimeo is a fantastic video
repository used by
filmakers from all around
the world. When you
add a video to Vimeo
you are given the
options to embed it onto
your site easily enough.
However, if you would
like to create a gallery of
your work on your own
website that is updated
automatically any time
you add a video then
Vimeography is exactly
what your looking for.

6. #3 - Google Author Link
Google Authorship is a
big deal when it comes
to blogs. There are
multiple ways to add
Google Authorship to
your website, but if you

them entail then you
should install this plugin.
This works with any
theme and also with
Multi-site to create a
new Google Plus area
in your user profile.

7. #4 - Advanced WP Columns

a very simple and
effective way to format
the structure of your

out with a simple,
graphical column
display manager
window.

8. #5 - Starbox

author profile box for
your website. It allows
you to add all of your
social profiles,
including Google
Authorship. The social
profiles can also be set
differently for each
author on your website.
You also have the ability
to display the author
boxes only on posts,
only on pages or on
both.

answers.

several images into the

those images on a postby-post basis. If you
need to use multiple
images at any point then
this plugin is exactly
what you are looking for.

12. #9 - WP Sitemap Page
WP Sitemap Page is
useful if you are
planning to give your
visitors a way to quickly
see every post, page,
category and every
other aspect of your
website. This plugin
does not create an XML
sitemap but instead
allows you to display
that previously
generated sitemap on
any page or post on
your site.

13. #10 - Nav Menu Roles
The Nav Menu Roles
plugin is a great method
for hiding items in your
navigation menu
depending on user role
or logged in users. This
can be useful when you
want to display specific
menu items for your
registered users that you
don’t want anyone else
to see, or whether
specific roles have
access to menu items
that others don’t.
