New WordPress Plugins of May 2016 with Great Potential

WordPress directory is the largest and most reliable source for various plugins and themes. All the plugins available at the directory are thoroughly tested and are considered to be safe to use. That’s why when it comes to searching for some new plugins, it’s the first place where almost all WordPress users refer to at first. The plugins are presented with a detailed info such as the date of the last update, compatibility with WordPress versions, the number of the active installs, ratings, author or developers, available translations, etc.

The problem with WordPress plugin directory is that it lacks some advanced filtering options. Although it has a search box at the right corner to enable you to search for plugins with keywords, the only filtering options that it provides are featured, popular, favorites (if you’ve chosen some) and beta testing. But what about the new ones? There are dozens of plugins added to the directory every day, and I know that WordPress enthusiasts and even a great majority of bloggers and website owners would like to know what’s new up in the horizon.

I try to keep the track of the latest directory updates and I would like to introduce to you some new and cool WordPress plugins of this month, which have a great potential to find their ways to the “popular” section in the near future.

Page and Post Clone

New yet already popular plugin with a considerable number of active installs. Page and Post Clone plugin does exactly what is says- enables you to clone pages and posts of your website preserving the original content and titles.

To clone a page or post you just have to go your WordPress dashboard, select a post/page, and click on the clone button as you hover over it. You’ll be redirected to the draft copy, where you can make the necessary changes and hit the publish button. As easy as that! Cloning pages and posts was never so easy and hassle free.
