New Plugin Ideas for WordPress
I have been dabbling more into WordPress code than ever before and am trying to create plugins that are helpful to the community. Lest Ideas behold from coming to me on what more functionality needs to be added to WordPress.
I am working on a couple of new Plugins that I will release in coming days, they are not as big as two of my other plugins Better Comments Manager and WordPress Automatic Upgrade but they are smaller things which can be used by the community.
As the title of the post says I am looking at more Ideas to develop plugins for WordPress and what better way than to ask the users. I would be glad if you can tell me what you need and I will develop it for FREE. Yes FREE give me your ideas and I will turn them into a reality 
.
You can let me know about what you want to add to WordPress to make it better by emailing me at wpplugins at techie-buzz dot com.
Hoping to make WordPress better with your help. Will you help me with it?

Maybe you could create some plugins which “nofollow” all links in sidebar.
after all, sidebars are repeating, and if all links add up, PR loss would be huge. currently, i do it manually but it would be useful to have a plugin for those who dont know it.

What about a plugin that automatically sends (forces) trackback URLs to ping the original blogs?

Here’s another one – a plugin to automatically backup all “Upload” files.
I believe there’s no such plugin currently. If you know of any such plugin, please let me know.

Hey Keith, hope you are doing well..
One of the things that I struggle with in Wordpress is the changing the footer section. You may know the importance of footer from SEO perspective.
It would be great if there is a plug-in that kind of adds widgets (Like Sidebar) to your theme.
You could add stuff to your footer like your widgetized sidebar. I ma not sure if one can take a plugin route to achieve this, or it has to be done strictly while designing the these….
If you can, give it a try, I bet it will be quite popular….
Thanks

The ad rotator plugin can be used for rotating your footers. I use it to display random Einstein quotes on my footer.

There’s a category filter plugin that works, but is overkill for what I would want it for. I want to filter any articles from my feed within specific categories only. This is to prevent things like sponsored posts from making it to the feed. It could be based on category or on a trigger string within the content itself.

First of all your sticky note is great, mind if I steal the idea?
Secondly,
I think a great plugin would be something like the feature plugin:
http://no.oneslistening.com/160
but more robust. If you look at the post on my site, I have title banners for ‘pillar’ posts. Would I’d love to do is have a plugin that could display a random title banner image, linked to that post, from a collection of ‘feature’ posts that I have picked out.
Currently I’m planning on just hardcoding it in, but I think a plugin would be great.

Hi Keith,
I have enjoyed your plugins so well earlier and am looking forward to use many more from you. Great work!
Here’s my idea
- To have a plugin that will show some posts from the blog in the Adsense ads format on the same blog.
Say you have picked 10 posts, they should appear in the same rectangle/banner format the adsense ads appear on your blog.
The idea is that people will stop avoiding clicking adsense ads.
To speak more if you are interested, join me on G talk – manikuttan@google.com
Cheers!
Mani
