When any talks about WordPress, staying up to date with the latest WordPress system is always a must and this can also applies when we are talking about WordPress plugins too as of our “favourite” plugins can either die off by developers sadly disregarding them and not updating them to a plugin that you though was great but unfortunately left a sour taste afterwards.

So considering the huge number of new plugins that are released on a daily basis on the official WordPress plugin directory I though for this week WordPress Wednesday post will feature 8 newest plugins that every should at least download and try out regardless of whether you are a beginner, or a seasoned WordPress pro.

1. Support Ticket System

Support Ticket System is a plugin that a simple, fast and responsive ticket system to handle Questions, problems or other requests from visitors of your page. You can use it as a help desk for co-workers in your Intranet or as a contact form for your website for example.

2. ACF Front End Form – Add on for ACF

The Front End Form Plugin brings the awesomeness, and ease of use, of the Advanced Custom Fields Plugin for WordPress into the front end of WordPress by generating a shortcode for each Field Group you create in ACF.  That shortcode (when placed into a Page, Post, Widget or any other section that accepts shortcode) will display the Field Group so visitors can interact like they would any form you could have created with the faithful Contact Form 7, robust Formidable or dynamic Gravity Forms Plugins which – in all their glory – pale in comparison to the benefits of field creation and management with Advanced Custom Fields.

3. Custom CSS

With this plugin you can create custom CSS and JS codes. Delivered with the awesome Conditional Logic, you can easily specify where you want to your custom CSS code appear. You can write your CSS and JS codes inside nice ACE editor with syntax highlighter.Codes will be still presented, after you change the theme, so this is really good way to write CSS adjustments into your theme.

4. Media File Cleaner

With Media File Cleaner you can clean your Media Library and Uploads directory from the files which are not used.

5. Switch Video Quality

Switch Video Quality adds a quality switch button to the native wordpress video player (mediaelement.js), that allows to choose between different resolutions (e.g., SD and HD) and/or formats (mp4, webm, ogv) of a self-hosted html5-compatible video.

Simply upload your photos and put the gallery shortcode where you would like the display the gallery. Uploading photos integrates natively with the WordPress Media Gallery for ease of use.

7. Content Cards

The Content Cards plugin allows you to display rich snippets instead of simple links, the plugin makes any website embedable to your WordPress posts, the same way oEmbed-enabled websites (YouTube, Twitter, SoundCloud, etc.) are. This plugin reads OpenGraph data (the same data that Facebook uses to display information about shared links) and formats a rich snippet accordingly.

Simply this plugin turns a WordPress Admin backend into a nice looking dashboard based on the Flat UI kit by Design Modo
