Note: Support for the Simple CMS WordPress plugin has been discontinued. If you are interested in having this product upgraded for the latest version of WordPress then please contact us for information about paid plugin development.

The Simple CMS WordPress plugin converts the WordPress blog tool into a basic CMS (Content Management System). Simple CMS removes all of the complicated blogging functionality which is not needed for a basic static website. This allows for easier use of the admin panel by non web designers.

Please note that this plugin only works with WordPress 2.5 or above

Demonstration

Username: test

Note: The demo site is on an extremely slow server. The plugin will likely operate much faster and reliably on your own web host.

Installing

Simply upload the folder to your plugins directory, then head to the plugins page in your WordPress admin panel and activate the plugin.

If you are a “WordPress Administrator” you will not see any difference, but if you log in as a “WordPress Editor” or below, you will see a vastly simplified administration panel suitable for simple static websites.

To modify the items shown in the admin menu, go to the “Simple CMS” options page in the “Settings” menu.

Theming

To help with developing themes for static websites powered by WordPress, I’ve released the Simple CMS WordPress Theme (demo).

The plugin doesn’t do anything exotic, the original code is still there, it is just hidden from view via CSS. Users will still be able to access the hidden areas of the admin panel if they know what they are doing.

Support

Visit the Simple CMS support board for help, advice or further information about the Simple CMS plugin.

Note: This plugin has been superceded by the ‘PixoPoint Menu Plugin‘.

This plugin generates the code necessary to create a Son of Suckerfish WordPress dropdown menu.

Download

The plugin is available for download here … Suckerfish WordPress Plugin

Installation

Add the following code wherever you want the dropdown to appear in your theme (usually header.php) and activate the plugin in your admin panel.

This code adds a button for your home page and dropdowns for your Pages, Archives, Categories and Blogroll.
<?php if (function_exists('suckerfish')) {suckerfish();} ?>

Customisation

You can modify the look of your dropdown by using our new Online Suckerfish Dropdown CSS Generator. The generator has been designed with this plugin in mind, so just copy and paste the CSS code from the generator to the plugins options page.

Credits

Thanks to Patrick Griffiths and Dan Webb for their article which we used as a model for the CSS used in this plugin. And thanks to Miriam Schwab for writing the blog post which motivated us to create it.

Support
