What kind of WordPress plugins do you wish existed?

Hey everyone, looking for some plugin ideas. What features or tools would you love to see for WordPress that aren’t already out there? Let me know your thoughts

Why would I just give you ideas for free? Ideas can lead to big profits. I remember someone once suggesting profit-sharing if their plugin idea ended up being successful. Seems fair, don’t you think?

Ideas are free to come by though. Anyone can have a brilliant idea, but the real work is in making it happen. Try selling an idea alone and see how far that gets you without putting in the effort.

True, but asking a bunch of devs for ideas without offering anything in return feels a bit off. Sure, ideas are just one part, but they’re critical if you already have the resources to make them happen. Kind of like investors looking for the next big thing to fund—they rely on good ideas to make returns.

One thing I’d love is a better way to clean up the media library. Especially on older sites, I end up with duplicates or images in custom sizes that aren’t being used. I’ve tried tools like Media Cleaner Pro, but it’s not perfect. It sometimes deletes images that are still in use. A plugin that can fix this issue without causing problems would be amazing!

Thanks for the idea, that’s a really useful suggestion!

I agree. Once you’ve got hundreds or even thousands of posts, the media library becomes a mess. I’m working on a project next year to delete over half of 5000+ posts on a site. The tricky part is cleaning up the media library without breaking anything. If there’s a tool that can organize and clean up media files while handling redirects smoothly, I’m all for it.
