There are a number of WordPress plugins and integrated features that can assist you with that. You might need a payment system, translations, an ecommerce solution or an affordable way to sent newsletters to your clients and potential customers. I have highlighted the 6 of the best ones below.

How to Remove “Says” From WordPress 2.7 Threaded Comments
Well, you can’t see it on this site because I spent a good chunk of my weekend trying to figure out how to get rid of it, but I’ve come up with three ways to get rid of the word “Says” after the commenters name in WordPress 2.7 threaded comments.
The three methods are:
- – Setting the display to none in the CSS class
- – Making the color of says the same as the background color in the CSS
- – Using the callback function to output the html so you can edit it
Adding WordPress 2.7 Threaded Comments to your Theme
Probably one of the most talked about features of 2.7 is that threaded comments are built in. A plugin is no longer required for this functionality.
The problem is that it takes more that simply upgrading to 2.7 for this feature to be available. If you’ve got a brand new 2.7 ready theme then, yes, threaded comments will work. If not, you will need to make the theme “2.7 ready”.
So, you’re in luck because I’m going to walk you through the steps. I’m not sure if I like the way they look but I do like the functionality. I have saved my original files in case I decide to revert back.

Today I am going to discuss WordPress conditionals in relation to sticky posts and how they can make your sticky posts smarter.
