Great video, very informative and to the point, thanks. For me, my goto for website security is 100% Wordfence. Several years ago, a client had an issue of not being able to gain access to their website, and their original designer absconded, and client wanted us to try and salvage their website. We ran into Wordfence for the first time, and man was it a struggle to get into that website. Tried almost everything we could, but Wordfence kept blocking us at every turn. Even with ftp access we could not stop Wordfence from blocking us. Our only solution was to go directly into the back-end database, via the host, and create an admin login, and inform Wordfence about the new admin, all via the database, and that is the only way we managed to salvage the website. Ever since that experience, I use nothing else but Wordfence for all my client websites.
@wptuts, Dear Paul, we are proud to see you put our Depicter Plugin to your second top list of your best WP Plugins in 2023! Thank you for mentioning Depicter! 😉
Hey Paul, great video, thanks a lot as always. One plugin I constantly use when developing my sites is FEP (flexible Elementor Panel) it makes the Elementor tools panel float so you don't need to open and close it to check how your design looks.
Admin and site enhancement is a nice addition but it loads its php code in every single wordpress admin page. For example: if you have installed ACF or any other plugin, admin and site enhancement loads its php code in those plugins admin pages while perhaps it is not necessary to do so.
@@WibowoSulistio My previous comment has been deleted and maybe because of mentioning another plugin name. I think I have found the reason but let me know if you are interested to know about it.
@@WibowoSulistio That is great. I have already bought your another plugin variable inspector pro. Now why ASE loads in every admin page? The other plugin that I had mentioned (I do not mention it again) detected that ASE loads php in every admin url. I also wondered why this is happening. I checked ASE settings and found that I have activated the wider admin menu in the admin interface section. That is the reason that ASE is loading in every admin url. Now there are two scenarios: 1. If ASE just loads php and related queries for just admin wider menu option and all other php is not loaded then it is fine. 2. If ASE loads all php and related queries of the plugin for just one function then it is not acceptable. I have not gone further and leave everything else for you. Best Regards,
Thank you Paul! Admin and Site Enhancements is definetely a great extension which such powerful tools. However it has several flaws (e .g. no white labelling or WP dashboard display according to the user role) that imply we have to use other plugings in conjunction. Maybe something that would justify a pay version?
What kind / extent of white labeling would you like to see?.... also, I'm not clear on what you mean by "WP dashboard display according to the user role"... can you elaborate? p.s. I'm the developer of ASE.
@@WibowoSulistio 1) Correct, it's not white labelling, it's customizing some items of the dashboard like the admin login form or insertig our brand logo and colors instead only removing WP logo; 2) An option to display different dashboard menu items according to the user's role (Admin Menu Organizer). As you may have with Ultimate Dashboard. Or 3) Maintenance Page based on template (e. g. Elementor). But it has some mind blowing features, like Revision Control, Limit Login Attempt, not to mention the simpliest SMTP Email Delivery tool I have ever seen (and it works!).
@@WibowoSulistio Don't get me wrong, I think your tool is fantastic! I started to use it on some of my websites. I'm even ready to pay for the tremendous job you did 👏
@@comleonmoto thank you. Glad to hear you find it useful for your sites and are ready to sponsor ASE, which is always welcome and much appreciated. Do keep sending your feedback as you continue to use it and find things to improve or bugs to fix.
No more JetEngine? I learned a lot from your videos on how to use JetEngine. Too bad they are not improving their overall performance and speed. It is just too slow on queries and filters. 🥲
Thank you, Paul. You used the term “abundance” abundantly. 🙂
🤣
Just installed Independant Analytics for the first time, beautiful, fast. Can't wait for some data! Excited to test FluentAuth. Thank you Paul.

I always find little gems in these videos Paul… can’t thank you enough - very helpful!
@wptuts,

are you gonna add ACF support to Depicter soon?
@@alikhavari9079 Hi there, It supports Depicter already. Enjoy it!

Thanks for sharing that.
First time here and already loving the content you have created!
Thanks Paul, love your suggestions.
An abundance of recommendations. Thank you!
Thank you very much, Paul. Helpful as always.
Excellent work!!!
Hey, nice video, thanks. What would it take me to get my AI Comment Moderator plugin featured in one of your videos?
All plugins are new for me but depicter slide plugin is new for me thanks a lot
Excellent work indeed
Super helpful video 😊
Great video! Out of interest, what do you use to make the flyover view of the plugins at the start?
Thank u so much👍🏻🙏
Always learned from you..
These days Admin Site Enhancements is releasing updates every few hours...crazy
Does the staging option inside WPVivid have the "one-click" feature?
Admin and site enhancement is a nice addition but it loads its php code in every single wordpress admin page. For example: if you have installed ACF or any other plugin, admin and site enhancement loads its php code in those plugins admin pages while perhaps it is not necessary to do so.
What PHP code I wonder?

Would you say FluentAuth is needed if I use the Siteground Security plug-ins?
Can you please do a video on how to hide the page title.
Hi, I see you don't list Crocoblocks. Is there a reason for this? Isn't it worth it in 2023 anymore?
what is better? JetEngine or ACF?
I was curious wtf plugins are. I have no use for any of these. I think I'll watch tv.
You forgot WSForm and ACFE
wp code box
Fiiiiiiirst!
