You missed a very important plugin I found last week–CMS Press: http://vocecommunications.com/services/web-development/wordpress/plugins/cms-press/ .

It’s not in the repository, but it gives you the ability to create and manage custom content types and taxonomies for your WordPress site (introduced in versions 2.8-2.9).

It’s basically the precurser to built-in functionality that’ll be included in 3.0 and the missing piece to the CMS puzzle.

FYI Guys

If you would like to display your pages in a windows explorer style drop down on your dashboard then I built this plugin:

I’m researching forms plugins so appreciated the info about cFormsII. @Zack: I appreciate your feedback about cForms complexity and will check out Contact Forms 7. I also really like Kiernan O’Shea’s calendar plugin and would appreciate any feedback about that plugin.

If you read the Role Scoper FAQ, I clearly state that its functionality is entirely different from Role Manager. Role Scoper is all about assigning category-specific or page-specific restrictions and roles. This brings a lot of implications and options. Role Manager / Capability Manager simply changes the capability set for blog-wide WordPress roles. If that’s all you want, the solution is to install RM/CM and not Role Scoper

I don’t know what Greg meant about not uninstalling nicely. In 18 months of release, that has not been a complaint I’ve heard. I will check with him directly. If anyone else has a problem, feel free to leave a detailed description in the Role Scoper support forum.

I don’t understand why people complain about using wordpress as a CMS, it manages content! Ok, it doesn’t have some of the functionality out the box as some of the other competitors do, however, this is an excellent product.!

I don’t understand why all ‘WP as a CMS plugins’-posts list Pagemash. It’s only compatible up to WP 2.7.1.
