<p>A plugin with common features missed in WordPress, like favicon, meta tags, adding HTML to head and footer, WordPress e-mail from header filter, etc.</p>
<p>I’ve developed this plugin for my own job. I’ve realized that when I create a<br />
new WordPress project, there are some features I have to plugin every time. I<br />
decided to bundle they all into a single plugin, and I’m publishing it for<br />
other creators who may find it useful too.</p>
<p>Take a look to the <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jb-common/changelog/" title="Go to the Changelog section" rel="ugc">Changelog</a><br />
for a complete feature list, you may be interested in some of them.</p>
