This installment of plugins features ones embe uses for layout. Without some of these, especially the custom widgets, our site wouldn’t allow us much flexibility with our different pages.

TS Custom Widgets

Enables us to use different widgets on different pages. It can also display different widgets on posts, pages, categories, authors posts and tag pages. I like this one for its ease of adding different sidebar items without having to mess around in the HTML.

Exclude Pages from Navigation

Like the name says, this plug in allows you to exclude a page from the navigation bar (or sidebar menu). This lets embe have many different pages without cluttering up our menu bar.

Wp Post Columns
Allows us to create columns within posts/pages. You can see this one in action on our Products page where we listed the products into two columns. This really saved me the hassle of creating a complicated table! (As you can probably tell I’m all about the shortcuts!)
