So, it would be great to post like that:

Hey folks, thanks for sharing yours.
Here is my list for a while. Still setting the site, so it tends to grow. :0)

Used these for helping to create a multilingual Symbiostock theme:
– qTranslate: Adds userfriendly multilingual content support into WordPress;
– gText Widget: Multilingual Text Widget For WordPress 2.8.x;
– CodeStyling Localization: You can manage and edit all gettext translation files (*.po/*.mo) directly out of your SYS back-end, but not useful for a while once I’m not getting to make .mo file works with SYS as posted here;
– WP exec PHP: Execute PHP inside posts, pages, text widgets and text widget titles. Add filters and actions using custom fields.

Used these for helping to create the Symbiostock theme:
– Akismet: protect your blog from comment and trackback spam;
– Contact Form 7: Great plug-in to manage contact forms;
– Count Per Day: Counter, shows reads and visitors per page; today, yesterday, last week, last months … on dashboard, per shortcode or in widget;
– Display widgets: Adds checkboxes to each widget to show or hide on site pages;
– Email Address Encoder: lightweight plugin to protect email addresses from email-harvesting robots by encoding them into decimal and hexadecimal entities;
– External Permalinks Redux: Allows you to point WordPress objects (posts, pages, custom post types) to a URL of your choosing;
– Math Captcha: Math Captcha is a 100% effective CAPTCHA for WordPress that integrates into login, registration, comments, Contact Form 7 and bbPress;
– Related Posts By Taxonomy: required by Symbiostock;
– Reveal IDs: Reveals hidden IDs in Admin interface that have been removed with WordPress 2.5
– Shortcoder: allows to create a custom shortcode “[custom]” and store HTML, Javascript and other snippets in it. So if that shortcode is used in any post or pages, then the code stored in the shortcode get executed in that place;
– Slideshow: required by Symbiostock;
– SYMBIOSTOCK- Cart Manager: required by Symbiostock;
– SYMBIOSTOCK – Emails and Notifications: required by Symbiostock;
– UpdraftPlus – Backup/Restore: Backup and restore: take backups locally, or backup to Amazon S3, Dropbox, Google Drive, Rackspace, (S)FTP, WebDAV & email, on automatic schedule
– Wordfence Security: Anti-virus and Firewall security plugin for WordPress;
– WordPress SEO: The first true all-in-one SEO solution for WordPress, including on-page content analysis, XML sitemaps and much more;
– wp-category-meta:: Add the ability to attach meta to the WordPress categories.

If I get some new plug-in, I’ll edit this list. I hope that can be useful for somebody else. ;0)

Has Contact Form 7 been fixed? If not people need to be aware that it doesn’t send you the person’s email with the message.

I stopped using it because of this problem. The last update I checked and it was still reproducing the problem.

Hi Jo, to see the “person’s email” in the email message, just replace the line in the “message body:” field…

From code:
From: [your-name]

To code:
From: [your-name] – [your-email]

or you can add a line below such as:
Sender’s email: [your-email]

Use “
” to break lines.

I hope that helps.

Thanks for the info. I have set it up another way currently so I might look into it later on with time. I’m fairly happy with the way it is now.

I just used the “WordPress contact form with captcha plugin” to create the contact page. I can’t remember doing anything more but I’ve been working 14-16 hours a day and my mind is tired 🙂
