Blaminhor Essentials – Modular Toolkit - Complete Description
Category: WordPress Plugins • Platform: PHP
Stop installing multiple plugins for basic tasks.
Blaminhor Essentials groups essential WordPress features into one single, lightweight plugin. Each module is independent and only loads when activated.
My Approach:
- Modular: Enable only what you need. Each feature is isolated.
- Lightweight: No bloat. You only load the code for the features you actually turn on.
- Secure & Reliable: I use standard WordPress APIs and best practices.
- 100% Free: No premium version, no upsells.
Available Modules:
Content Duplicator
Duplicate posts, pages, and custom post types with precision.
- Complete Copy: Duplicates content, excerpt, parent, template, and menu order.
- Deep Cloning: Copies all custom fields (post meta), taxonomies (categories/tags), and even child posts.
- Smart Options: Choose new status (draft, publish, private), copy author, date, and comments.
- Admin Integration: ‘Duplicate’ links in list view, edit screen, and admin bar. Bulk duplication supported.
- Taxonomy Support: Duplicate categories and tags with all their metadata.
Maintenance Mode
Simple, effective Coming Soon and Maintenance pages.
- Two Modes: Choose between “Maintenance” (503 Service Unavailable) or “Coming Soon” (200 OK).
- Access Control: Whitelist user roles (e.g., Administrators) or specific IP addresses.
- Customization: Set headline, message, background color, and text color.
- Login Link: Optional link to the admin login page for restricted users.
SMTP Mailer
Reliable email delivery with multi-relay fallback.
- Multi-Provider Support: Preset configs for Brevo, SendGrid, Mailgun, AWS SES, Postmark, Gmail, Outlook, and more.
- Relay Fallback: Define multiple relays. If the primary fails, it automatically tries the next one.
- Email Log: Keep track of every email sent (status, subject, relay used) with auto-cleanup of old logs.
- Developer Friendly: Force ‘From Email’ and ‘From Name’, disable SSL verification for local dev.
- Testing: Built-in tools to test individual relays or the full sending stack.
Privacy Policy
Blaminhor Essentials does not collect any personal data. The SMTP Mailer module stores email metadata locally if logging is enabled, but this data stays on your server.
Third Party Services
This plugin allows you to optionally configure connections to external SMTP services for email delivery. No data is sent to any external service unless you explicitly configure an SMTP relay.
When you configure the SMTP Mailer module, your emails (including recipient addresses, subject, message content, and any attachments) will be transmitted through the SMTP service you choose. This happens each time WordPress sends an email (contact forms, password resets, notifications, etc.).
