Blaminhor Essentials – Redirects, Broken Links, Favicon, Maintenance, Classic Editor & 21 More
One plugin to replace twenty. Free forever. I was tired of my WordPress installs looking like a graveyard of single-purpose plugins — one for SEO, one for cache, one for SMTP, one for redirects, one for backups. Each one with its own dashboard, its own freemium dance. So I built Blaminhor Essentials — and I never sell your data. Why this plugin exists: Every WordPress essential under one roof. SEO, cache, SMTP, backup, cookie banner, contact forms, calendar, anti-spam, login security, downloads, redirections, broken links, duplicator, database optimizer, domain changer, fatal error recovery, favicon, HTTPS redirect, hide login, image sizes, maintenance mode, mute core emails, post types order, user role editor, classic editor, disable comments. Switch on what you use today; the rest stays out of your way until the day you need it. Your existing data comes with you. Switching does not mean starting over: built-in importers for Yoast, Rank Math, All in One SEO, WP Mail SMTP, Post SMTP, Easy WP SMTP, Redirection, Safe Redirect Manager, Custom Taxonomy Order, Favicon by RealFaviconGenerator, and the standalone User Role Editor. The dedicated plugins you’ve stacked one by one over the years, now in a single coherent toolkit. No tax for what you don’t use. Each module is independent: an inactive one loads no PHP, registers no hooks, enqueues no assets, runs no queries. You’re only paying — in memory and milliseconds — for the features you actually turned on. Rebuilt on modern PHP. Since version 2, every module has been re-engineered from the ground up to take full advantage of PHP 8 — strict types, enums and value objects — for tighter security and faster, leaner execution. Free. All features above are free. No tracking, no telemetry. Translated in 11 languages. English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Japanese, Russian, Turkish, Dutch, Indonesian. You can email me anytime.
[email protected] Available Features — 26 modules: Performance Cache & Performance — Page cache, asset optimization and lazy load, plus a Web Vitals dashboard and an auto-pilot that benchmarks each speed option on your own pages. SEO & Links SEO/GEO — Meta titles and descriptions with SERP preview, XML sitemaps, per-type indexing control, and one-click import from Yoast, Rank Math or All in One SEO. Redirections — Simple or regex redirects (301, 302, 307, 410, 451) with hit counters, slug-change detection, and CSV / plugin import (Redirection, Safe Redirect Manager). Broken Links — Scan posts, pages and custom post types for dead internal and external links, with live results and one-click fixes. Emails SMTP Mailer — Reliable delivery through 12+ providers (Brevo, SendGrid, Mailgun, AWS SES…) with automatic relay fallback, logging, and import from WP Mail SMTP, Post SMTP or Easy WP SMTP. Mute Core Emails — Silence WordPress automatic notifications (updates, new users, password changes, comments) individually. Security & Maintenance Cookie Banner — Self-hosted consent banner that blocks tracking scripts and embeds until visitors agree, with GDPR/CCPA/LGPD presets, Consent Mode v2, and a 13-month consent log. Anti-Spam — Block spam bots on the comment, login, registration and password forms with a hidden honeypot trap, and encode the email addresses shown on your site so harvesters cannot read them — no CAPTCHA, no external service. Login Security (Beta) — Lock out brute-force attempts on every sign-in route (login form, XML-RPC, REST API, application passwords) before the password is checked, add two-factor authentication (authenticator app, security key or passkey, emailed code, single-use backup codes) with trusted browsers, alert on sign-ins from unfamiliar devices, enforce a password policy per role, and keep a journal of every attempt with addresses stored hashed. Entirely local, no external service. Hide Login Page — Replace wp-login.php with a custom URL and block bots probing the default login. HTTPS Redirect — Force HTTPS site-wide with optional mixed-content fixing and an HSTS header. Fatal Error Recovery — Recover a crashed site from a secret URL by disabling the culprit plugin, with no FTP access. Maintenance — Show a Coming Soon (200) or Maintenance (503) page, with role and IP whitelisting. User Role Editor — Create, clone and edit roles and capabilities, with per-user overrides, JSON import/export and one-click import from the standalone User Role Editor plugin. Database & Migration Backup & Restore — Scheduled backups of files and database as separate archives, with a safety backup and one-click undo before every restore. Database Optimizer — Clean revisions, transients, spam and orphaned data on a schedule, with an at-a-glance size and overhead overview. Domain Changer — Change your site domain and update every database reference, including serialized data, in one click. Content & Media Calendar (Beta) — Publish events with recurrence, venues, organizers, calendar views, iCal import and RSVP, and run a full booking system for appointments and resource rentals with reminders and Stripe payments. Forms (Beta) — Accessible drag-and-drop contact forms with entries stored in the database, no-CAPTCHA spam protection, and GDPR controls. Downloads (Beta) — Count how many times each media library file is downloaded, and how many distinct people downloaded it, without recreating your files as anything else. Make documents save instead of opening in a tab, restrict a file to signed-in visitors, chosen roles or a password, and optionally route direct file requests through the counted link so links already shared are covered too. Robots, link previews and repeat clicks are filtered out, and no visitor address is ever stored. Content Duplicator — Clone any post, page or custom post type with all fields, taxonomies and child posts; supports every major page builder. Classic Editor & Widgets — Restore the classic editor and/or the classic widgets screen, independently. Image Sizes — Disable unused thumbnail sizes, register custom ones, and regenerate existing images. Favicon Generator — Generate every favicon format (PNG, Apple Touch, Android, Windows tiles) from a single square image, or import an existing set from Favicon by RealFaviconGenerator or the WordPress Site Icon. Post Types Order — Reorder posts, pages, custom post types and taxonomies with drag and drop, and import an existing term order from Custom Taxonomy Order. Disable Comments — Remove the comment system site-wide and hide it from the admin, reversibly. WP-CLI Commands Every module is fully configurable from the command line through the wp blaminhor ... namespace — useful for scripts, CI/CD, fixtures, and AI assistants like Claude Code or Cursor. The CLI delegates to the same validation pipeline as the admin UI, so settings stay consistent.

Mutating commands require --user= for the capability check. Sensitive values (SMTP passwords, recovery keys) are never printed in cleartext. The Backup module exposes list and delete only — creating and restoring a backup remain admin-only, where the stepped AJAX flow avoids PHP timeouts and the pre-restore safety net runs.
