35 款 WordPress 精品插件一览

by Falcon of TinyLab.org 2015/04/09

前言

WordPress 作为最流行的建站系统之一，它最大的优点莫过于可扩展性非常好，有非常丰富的插件库。

不过这实际上也是它的一个缺点，因为支持的插件过多，核心功能就相对不是很完善，必须通过加入各类插件才能完善功能。

而庞大的插件数据库有时候让人无所适从，找到一个插件不好用，找到另外一个又是各种崩溃，各种版本不兼容。插件质量参差不齐，劳心费力，这几乎是所有缺少严格品控的开源软件的通病吧。

OK，如果确实打算选用 WordPress，那让我们来过以下 泰晓科技 曾经调研或者正在使用的各类精品插件吧。

小结

通过引入上述一大堆插件以后，用 WordPress 搭建的站点就有了类似本站的效果。

不过要从头开始找这么多插件并逐个验证，的确是一项繁琐的工作。如果加上必要的插件调整，比如说要调整布局，调整展示效果，那么基于 WordPress 定制一个站点的开销非常可观。

随着 Markdown 的普及以及各类静态建站系统的发展，WordPress 的冬天或许就要到了。
