Automattic plugins

Automattic is the author of a large number and wide variety of plugins, available through the WordPress.org plugin repository. Of these, the Automattic-authored plugins added most often to WordPress sites on the VIP Platform are:

  • Co-Authors Plus: Enable multiple author bylines to be assigned to posts, pages, and custom post types.
  • Comprehensive Sitemaps: Includes all of a site’s entries in a sitemap. Designed to avoid memory and timeout problems when rendering heavy sitemap pages with a large number of posts.
  • Edit Flow: Collaborate with an editorial team within WordPress. Features include custom statuses, a calendar, editorial comments, and more.
  • Live Blog: Enables a site to host live event coverage to a large, distributed audience.
  • Maintenance Mode: Make a site temporarily inaccessible to public traffic until site maintenance is complete. A customized page template and messaging can be served to users while the plugin is enabled.
  • Remote Data Blocks: Create custom blocks in the block editor that fetch, cache, and display remote data from external data sources. The Remote Data Blocks plugin can be added as an Integration to all WordPress sites on the VIP Platform.
  • VIP Go Geo Uniques: Customize the content served to site visitors on a country-by-country basis.
  • WooCommerce: A free, highly customizable ecommerce plugin. Customers are encouraged to review the supplementary documentation for running WooCommerce the VIP Platform.
  • WP.com Legacy Redirector: Create redirects for old, or legacy, URLs that now return 404 HTTP response status codes.
  • Zoninator: Display curated groupings of related stories on a WordPress site.

Just like any third-party plugin, when considering an Automattic-authored plugin carefully evaluate and test the suitability of the plugin’s functions and compatibility with a site’s custom application code before enabling the plugin on production. VIP cannot guarantee that an Automattic-authored plugin will be compatible with a customer’s site.
