Which plug ins do you use with wordpress ?

[chris187]

Hi guys

Just wondering when you start a new wordpress site what plug ins do you usually use ? I am going to be doing some local seo for my own business and helping a friend out with his business aswell.

Im just back on the forums the last week or so, i signed up a couple of years ago but never got a chance to post as work was hectic and i was also away doing some traveling so hope to post more in the next few weeks.

Cheers

As few as possible.

When you run a lot of sites, updating and vulnerabilities become a worry.

See here, almost all of the recent exploits have been plugin related.
