Got any ideas for WordPress plugins

Hey everyone, I’m a WordPress developer with some free time. I’m looking to create a plugin but don’t know what to work on. Do you have any ideas for niche plugins you’d like to see? If I like the idea, I might just make it

How about a plugin that searches this forum for people asking about niche plugins they need? There are a few posts like that every day.

Here’s something specific I could use. I need a plugin to hide out-of-stock products in WooCommerce based on their category or tag. WooCommerce only lets you hide out-of-stock items across the whole catalog, but I run a fashion store. I’d like to show out-of-stock items from the latest collection but hide those from older collections.

Good idea, +1 for this.

@Blair
Funny you mention this! I actually built something similar for a client. DM me, and I’ll share it with you.

A plugin to make customizing WooCommerce checkout pages and account pages easier would be awesome!

How about a quiz plugin where each question has its own timer instead of just an overall timer?

If you’re out of ideas, try checking the plugin repo. Look for plugins that are missing useful features and build something to fill that gap.

That’s a great suggestion, thanks!

Speaking of missing features, I heard about issues with a plugin for embedding YouTube videos. You might want to look into it. I think it’s this one: Embed Plus for YouTube Gallery, Livestream and Lazy Loading with Facades – WordPress plugin | WordPress.org.

@Olen
You don’t actually need a plugin for embedding YouTube videos. WordPress has a built-in feature for that, and there’s even a YouTube block in the editor.

I’ve been using a plugin for Genesis archive pages, but it could really use some improvements. Would you be interested in helping with it?

Can you share a link to it? I’d like to check it out.

@Palmer
Sure, here it is: Binge Reading Archive Page Template – WordPress plugin | WordPress.org. The first improvement would be making it work on all sites, not just Genesis.

Could you create something like this video but integrated with WooCommerce products? Strong Rack Builder Introduction

I need a plugin that lets users switch WooCommerce products between the standard grid view and a table view. The table would list products on the left and show a few key attributes across the top. I haven’t found anything like this yet.

How about an Instagram plugin that filters posts by geotag? I can’t find one that works.

I recently released a simple support ticket plugin. Would you be interested in helping me improve it?
