Free WordPress Plugins

Plugins we wrote for our own stores and sites, free for yours. No licence keys, no phone-home, no upsell screen. GPL, plain PHP, tested on current WordPress.

If one of these saves you an afternoon, that’s the point. If you’d rather we install and tune it, that’s a service.

SWS Site Tag (Google Analytics 4)

The lightest GA4 tag for WordPress. One setting. Logged-in users carry an anonymous ID and their role so you can filter staff out of reports — or skip tracking them entirely.

  • Paste your G-XXXX ID, done
  • Nothing loads in wp-admin
  • No cookies of its own, no dashboards

Settings: Settings → Site Tag

Download sws-site-tag.zip

SWS Live Search for WooCommerce

Amazon-style suggestions in your header search: products with photo, price and stock, matching categories, guides and posts — as they type, with keyboard navigation.

  • Uses WooCommerce’s own product search
  • Vanilla JS, no jQuery, no external service
  • Picks up your theme’s colours

Settings: Works automatically on standard search boxes

SWS Pre-orders for WooCommerce

Flag a product as a pre-order with a ship date. Customers pay now, see the date instead of ‘backorder’, and the order is flagged so nobody ships it early.

  • Badge on the shop grid
  • Date rides along to cart, checkout, order, emails
  • Products → Pre-orders lists them all

Settings: Edit product → Inventory → Pre-order

SWS Billing Links (WHMCS)

Retire the WHMCS Bridge without breaking a link. Old https://simpweb.com/billing/ URLs 301 to your real WHMCS install and any bridge link still in your pages is rewritten live.

  • Keeps every old link working
  • Lets you move to PHP 8 and drop the bridge licence
  • Friendly-URL aware

Settings: Settings → Billing Links

Support, updates and the fine print

These are free and supported on a best-effort basis: send us a note with what you saw and we’ll usually answer the same day. Updates are posted here — the version number is in the plugin header. Everything is GPLv2 or later, which means you can change it, ship it, and never owe us anything. If you want a feature added for your site, or you want us to install and tune it, that’s a paid job and we’re happy to quote it.

Built by Simple Web Solutions and used in production on emaudio.com, advancedelectricshop.com and simpweb.com.
