How to get list of plugins of a WordPress blog you’d like to mimic
Ever wanted to know the complete list of plugins your fellow competitor blogger uses to make their website so appealing?
Often times it’s easy: just browse to
http://an instance of a wordpress.blog/wp-content/plugins/
…And if you believe that’s a dirty trick (it is basically akin to walkin through the unlocked door uninvited) – make sure to send a notice to the blog owner to secure their intellectual property (a fine selection of plugins out of tens of thousands available in the wild is a hard brain labour after all).
To protect the plugin listing they may simply issue the command at the shell prompt:
echo "Options -Indexes" >> a.wordpress.blog-document_root/.htaccess
Migration from Joomla to WordPress + merger of two WP blogs Completed
So this is the first post in the new migrated and merged weblog. At last.
It has proved one more time that a web site start up should be planned carefully lest you’d have couple of busy evenings correcting your strategy in the future.
Problems one should be prepared to when venturing such moves:
- Permalink re-design. Page addressing approaches are very different in Joomla and WordPress.
- Permalink forward setup for each page moved.
- Loss of your design. Joomla look&feel and its themes may be appealing to many (like it was with me couple years ago, when it was “Mambo” yet) and it’s got nice built-in features (some of which may be available as WP plugins, but some may not)
