Aaron from Social Photo Talk wrote an article called “Six Plugins You Don’t Need if You Use Thesis“. After reading it I decided to double-check which plugins I got rid of thanks to Thesis and the awesome Thesis Community who share their tutorials.
So here it is.. my list of plugins.. These may not be the real plugin names but the type of plugin which I was using before Thesis.
- Yoast Breadcrumbs
- WP-Cycle (Jquery Slideshow)
- AddtoAny / Sociable
- All In One SEO Pack
- FD Feedburner
- Google Analytics
- Post Thumbnail
- WP-PageNavi
- Fancybox/Thickbox
- RSS Footer
- Newsletter plugins
All of these now gone and Aaron has more listed on his article. Gotta love Thesis!
With the continued support of the Thesis Community I will keep reducing my plugin use. Next on my list is getting rid of the Related/Popular post plugins thanks to Kristarella.
About Scott Wyden Kivowitz
http://photoandpictures.com/2010/02/changing-ph….. you can look for it on frontal page…do thesis that?
Yes it could. Please refer to Kristarella's article which I linked to. She explains how to do it in a Thesis theme.
Great list Scott. Looking at some of those, while they aren't plugins I've used I can instantly see how Thesis would make them unnecessary. I'm using RSS Footer still, so apparently I need to dive into the Thesis options and figure out how to include my footer without using the plugin.
Here you go :-) function wpbeginner_postrss($content) {if(is_feed()){$content = ''.$content.'YOUR CONTENT HERE';}return $content;}add_filter('the_excerpt_rss', 'wpbeginner_postrss');add_filter('the_content', 'wpbeginner_postrss');
Hi ScottI can see you got rid of WP-PageNavi. I am currently looking into pagination of comments breaking into pages …. Any suggestions?thank you.R
I used a tutorial from ArtofBlog.com to do it. They might be able to give you a hand!http://www.artofblog.com/thesis-page-navigation

I’m new to Thesis and have used WP-Cycle in the past. What did you do to replace its function?
I no longer use Thesis but when I did I was using a JQuery script for my front page slideshow. Now I use WooThemes Canvas which has a slider script built in.
