– Hey, y'all I'm Kori Ashton, and today we'll be looking at my 10 favorite, totally free WordPress plugins. I'll do a recap of some plugins I've already done tutorials on, and maybe some that you've
not heard of just yet. This of course is brought
to you by LearnDash. Instantly transform your site into a powerful learning management system with LearnDash's WordPress LMS plugin. When you are ready to
create your own courses on your WordPress website, LearnDash is a great resource for you. All right, y'all. Let's
get to the tutorial. My 10 favorite totally
free WordPress plugins. (upbeat music) So these are my top 10
favorite free plugins. Everybody knows that free
is always in the budget. These first two play together. If you want to add a
custom field into your page or your post, you can do that completely, easily, and quickly. And then if you want it to be
able to be searched by Yoast, the SEO plugin, you'll
need this plugin as well. So both of these are
just amazing free tools.
And if you're interested in
learning more about those, I have the links in the
description box below. Just recently I shared with you
about Auto YouTube Importer. Just a phenomenal,
phenomenal plugin for you. If you're trying to go ahead and sync over your YouTube channel and have it load into your WordPress website, you can have them come
in as individual posts, which is awesome for SEO. So please be sure to check that one out. Blog Filter, I think this was
one I did quite a while ago. Really, really impressed though, overall with how cool this plugin is. It allows you to create filters for your blog on your WordPress website. If you wanna learn more about that, be sure to check it out
'cause it really does give some great, easy quick little access for people to quickly and easily navigate through all of your content. Especially if you have a very large blog with a lot of categories, a lot of tags. Custom Post Type. If y'all remember the
video I did on this one, really, really cool opportunity for you to add a custom field
inside of your dashboard.
So not just inside of a page or a post, but this actually allows you to create a totally custom section
over on that left sidebar of your dashboard. So in the example, I gave you in my video, I shared with you how to
make a recipes section or maybe you want a press release section or something completely
custom to kind of segment out content over there on that left side. You can do that totally
for free using this plugin.
Google Fonts is another really great one that you can put into your website. Of course, some authors are very generous and already include that for you. If your author has not
included that for you, you can quickly and easily come over here, install Google Fonts, and it'll allow you access to over 1,000 Google
fonts completely for free. And it'll really kind of elevate the tone of your website. Popups for Divi. Y'all know if you follow
my channel, I love Divi. This is a really truly great plugin that allows you to quickly
and easily activate a popup on your Divi website. Of course you have to
be using the Divi theme in order to install this. It works brilliantly and easily. I love this plugin. The Events Calendar. If you are in need of adding any sort of events to your
website, this is completely free. You can come in here, activate it quickly, you're off and running.
I've got an entire video
that shares with you how to do that. Really truly an outstanding
product totally for free. If you have a little bit of a budget, you can upgrade also to a pro version, which just really unlocks a lot
of extra bells and whistles. And if you're looking for a form builder in the budget of free, I
recommend WS Form Lite. Again, they have a pro version
that's pretty spectacular but this plugin really
has amazing capability.
And one of my favorite things about it is the mobile responsiveness. And of course you can set
a lot of conditional logic when it comes to your auto responders. So please be sure to check this out. Really really great free option here. And last of course, Yoast. I absolutely love the Yoast plugin. It's still by far my favorite
SEO plugin out there. Remember though that
this is not the magic fix to boost your rank on Google or any search engine for that matter, but it's a really great
accountability tool to help you learn how to
write your content better and allow the search engines to better understand what
you're trying to sell or what type of content you're
offering to your visitors. And as an added bonus,
every once in a while, I try to share with y'all a theme that I enjoy in the budget of free. And today I wanna highlight Kadence. It's a really, really great free theme. Man, this really comes out of the box packed with some cool features, really super easy to get off the ground, up and running very quickly.
So if you're looking for a
lightweight, very supported, great theme, check out Kadence. Free is always in the budget. I hope this has been helpful for y'all. If you like content like this, I'm just about to reach 500
totally free WordPress tutorials on this YouTube channel. So please be sure to like and subscribe and come back every single week. I'll be right here helping you
improve your online marketing inside the world of WordPress. Bye y'all. Stay safe. (light music).
