"Coming Soon" Block Listing Scheduled Posts
Registers a "Coming Soon" block, rendered on the server without a build step, that lists the titles and dates of your next scheduled posts to build anticipation for upcoming content.
Snippet Library
WordPress code snippets, ready to use
3,040 free snippets from the WPIDE team and the community. Copy the code, or add any snippet to your site in one click with WPIDE.
"More From This Author" Block
Registers a server-rendered block that lists the latest posts by the current post's author, excluding the post being read, to keep readers with writers they like.
"Pages in This Section" Block
Registers a server-rendered block that lists the other pages sharing the current page's parent, with the current page marked, giving every section of a large site its own side navigation.
Accept Application Passwords Only From Trusted IP Addresses
Rejects REST API and XML-RPC logins made with application passwords unless they come from the IP addresses or networks you list, such as your office, CI server or integration partner.
Add the Date to Uploaded File Names
Prefixes uploaded file names with the upload date, such as 2025-03-14-team-photo.jpg, so files sort chronologically on the server and in downloads.
Block Bad Bots by User Agent
Returns 403 Forbidden to aggressive SEO crawlers and scrapers that waste server resources, matched by their user agent.
Change the Number of Links per Yoast Sitemap
Sets how many URLs each Yoast SEO sitemap page holds. Lower it if large sitemaps time out on your server.
Check the SMTP Connection Without Sending
Adds Tools > SMTP Check, which connects and logs in to your configured SMTP server and reports success or the exact error, without sending an email to anyone.
Contact Card Block
Registers a "Contact Card" block, rendered on the server, where you type a name, role, phone, email and address in the sidebar and get a tidy card with tap-to-call and email links.
Disable PDF Preview Images
Stops WordPress from generating preview images for every uploaded PDF, saving disk space and server time when you upload many documents.
Disable the Heartbeat API Except in the Post Editor
Keeps the Heartbeat API (autosave and post locking) in the editor but turns it off on every other admin and front-end page to save server requests.
Email Alert When Disk Space Runs Low
Checks free disk space on the server twice a day and emails the admin when it drops below your threshold, before uploads, backups and the database start failing.
Email Subscribers When a New Post Is Published
Emails all users with the Subscriber role a short announcement with the title, excerpt and link whenever a new blog post is published, sent in small batches to protect your mail server.
Fast 404 for Missing Images, Scripts and Styles
Answers requests for missing images, CSS, JavaScript and font files with a tiny 404 instead of loading a full theme page, saving server time.
Job Application Form With CV Upload
Adds a [wpide_job_application] shortcode where candidates send their details and a CV (PDF or Word, size-limited); the CV is attached to the email you receive and then deleted from the server.
Keep Some Images Off Jetpack's Image CDN
Serves images from your own server instead of Jetpack's Site Accelerator CDN when their URL contains a pattern you choose, for example SVGs, signed URLs or a specific folder.
Keep Speculative Loading Away From Cart, Checkout and Account Pages
Tells WordPress's built-in speculative loading (prefetching pages on hover) to skip cart, checkout and account pages, which are personal, never cached and expensive to build, so hovering over their links no longer costs server time.
Limit the Maximum Upload Size
Caps the size of files that can be uploaded through WordPress at 8 MB, even if the server allows more.
Log Slow Outgoing HTTP Requests
Times every request your site makes to other servers (update checks, APIs, license servers) and records the ones slower than a second under Tools > Slow HTTP Calls, so you can find what is holding up page loads.
PHP Info Screen for Administrators
Adds a Tools > PHP Info screen showing the full phpinfo() report (extensions, limits, configuration), handy when a host's control panel does not show it.
Reject Requests for Unknown Host Names
Returns an error for requests whose Host header is not your site's domain, which blocks host header injection tricks (such as poisoned password reset links) and junk traffic aimed at your server's IP.
Remove the X-Mailer Header From Emails
Stops outgoing emails announcing "PHPMailer" and its version in the X-Mailer header, which reveals details about your server and can count against you in spam filters.
Retry Emails That Failed to Send
Keeps emails that fail because of a temporary mail server problem and tries to send them again up to three times over the following half hour.
Run WP-Cron From a Real Cron Job
Stops WordPress from checking for scheduled tasks on every page view; you trigger wp-cron.php from your server's cron instead, which is faster and more reliable.
