number of coincedences among WP users will be quite small to provide any sufficient gain with packaged version, right?

Exactly.

If the list of popular plugins I referenced above is a prioritized list (and I don’t know if this is true), then that would serve as a good resource to generate a “top plugins” list, which could be organized into categories. I think this could serve as a useful “resource” for people to scan, but maybe not a useful “package” to download and install.

it’s a very big number.

In my example, it doesn’t matter how large the number is — 1,000 or 1,000,000,000 — the law is irrelevant to this example for numerous reasons. We’ll just agree to disagree here.

So, here is a concrete example of why what you are thinking is not going to work….

Login to your WP admin and go to Plugins/Add new/Popular…if you want to know what plugins people are using, what better list…agreed?

Now, here’s the list that shows in the first page:

1. All in One SEO Pack
2. Google XML Sitemaps
3. Contact Form 7
4. WPtouch iPhone Theme
5. GD Star Rating
6. Add to Any: Share/Bookmark/Email Button
7. Easy AdSense
8. Akismet
9. NextGEN Gallery
10. Yet Another Related Posts Plugin
11. Viper’s Video Quicktags
12. Page Flip Image Gallery
13. Sociable
14. WP Super Cache
15. Platinum SEO Pack
16. Google Analyticator
17. WP-PageNavi
18. WordPress.com Stats
19. Google Analytics for WordPress
20. WP e-Commerce
21. HeadSpace2 SEO
22. WP Ajax Edit Comments
23. Subscribe2
24. Ozh’ Admin Drop Down Menu

I’ll use myself as an example…and I consider myself a very heavy WP user…I have several personal WP blogs and manage lots of WP blogs for others. Of the 24 plugins listed above, here are the ones I use on any of my blogs:

1. All in One SEO Pack
2. Contact Form 7
3. Akismet
4. Yet Another Related Posts Plugin
5. Sociable
6. Ozh’ Admin Drop Down Menu

Of the 6 in the list I use, I only use one of them on all of my sites:

1. Ozh’ Admin Drop Down Menu

So, if this was the list you included in your package, I would be installing WP with 24 plugins and on some of my sites I would only be using 1 of them…I would be using 6 at most on any of my sites.

Why would I want to have all that unused code sitting on my site?

Hence, plugins should be installed if/when needed by the individual user and anyone interested in keeping their site lean, clean, and as protected from vulnerabilities as possible shouldn’t have unused plugins just sitting around.

Just my opinion…of course, nothing is stopping you from putting your “package” together…I don’t think you will have many takers…, but maybe I’m wrong…

Then do a search & replace. In your case I would search for http:/www.00q.nl/wordpress & replace every instance with http://www.hulp4all.com

Good advice, but I would recommend the search/replace be on:

00q.nl/wordpress

and replace with:

hulp4all.com

If you include the entire url, you are likely to miss a lot of entries (particularly on a large db) that need to be changed.

Yep…that would do it 🙂 You’re welcome.

If you email me within the next 30 minutes or so, I’ll look at it — no charge. If you want, Email your web address and account login details to educhalk [at] gmail [dot] com

Do you have some kind of redirect set-up on your domain? Your header image is here:

http://www.effynius.com/wp-content/themes/inove/img/header.jpg

You also have a site here:

http://www.effynius.com

Is that what you are looking for?

A link to your site?

I don’t think you can change it, but you can do a lot to secure it…see the following:
