NextGen Gallery plugin

This plugin is used to add new gallery and image display functionality. Note that it does not work with the WordPress Media library – it is its own separate library.

Featured image

This post’s featured image is actually a NextGen featured image, with an image pulled from a NextGen gallery (instead of the WP Media Library).

Contact form plugin

The Contact Form plugin creates a contact form that can be embedded into a page or post on the blog. Each form has a unique ID — check the plugin settings page to find the custom shortcode.

Using the ‘shortcode’ block:

[contact-form-7 id=”4244″ title=”Contact form 1″]

Multi-column tag map (plugin test)

[mctagmap show_pages=”yes”]

Easy google fonts (plugin test)

I modified this text using Easy Google Fonts. It might be purple.

List category posts (plugin test)

This plugin has now been removed.
Please use the “Latest Posts” block to achieve a similar collection of posts.

This is a test of the plugin “List category posts”. Below, you should see a list of posts from the category “plugin tests” — last I checked, there were about 7. (Update 20200529 – this list isn’t even accurate! “Contributor role” is not in the plugin tests category, but in the “User role tests” category).

[catlist name=”plugin-tests”]

NEW: Use ‘Latest Posts’ blocks to achieve a similar list to ‘List Category Posts’

The below example also lists posts in the “plugin tests” category.
