<p>Easily keep track of the last time you interacted with your contacts.</p>
<p><strong>NOTE: This plugin is currently considered experimental. The implementation and/or interface may change, and features may be added or removed. Attempts will be made to ensure data viability through subsequent releases but is not guaranteed. Not recommended for use on a live production site.</strong></p>
<p>This plugin allows for contacts and contact groups to be imported from Google Contacts (and in future releases, other contact services) into a WordPress installation. The contacts can then be managed to keep track of the details about your interactions with each contact. You can record:</p>
<ul>
<li>Date you contacted the person</li>
<li>The method used to contact the person (email, IM, phone, in person)</li>
<li>A brief note about the interaction (optional)</li>
</ul>

<h3>TODO</h3>
<h4>BUGS/MINOR</h4>
<ul>
<li>Properly report failed OAuth authentication</li>
<li>Extract import stuff from LastContacted and put into dedicated class</li>
<li>Remove non-sprited versions of sprited icons</li>
<li>Dashboard widget: reinstate hide contact button for dashboard</li>
</ul>
<h4>ENHANCEMENTS</h4>
<ul>
<li>Prefix all CSS classes with “lc_”</li>
<li>Summarize stats for each import (when manually performed) (i.e. X groups added/removed, X contacts added/removed)?</li>
<li>Expose date for when group/contact first got imported?</li>
<li>Expose name of contact source for each contact?</li>
<li>Require registration of contact services (rather than having Google Contacts assumed)</li>
<li>Use wp_remote_<a href="" rel="nofollow ugc">get|post</a> methods to contact Google</li>
<li>Display time since rather than date of last contact? (“5 days ago” vs “2011-11-01”)</li>
<li>Pseudo-cron (or at least expire) knowledge about contacts not having Gravatar</li>
</ul>
<h4>FEATURES</h4>
<ul>
<li>Allow access to contact history beyond most recent (popup? embedded listing that needs to be expanded?)</li>
<li>Show multiple email addresses for contact if there are more than one?</li>
<li>Support multiple contact sources</li>
<li>Recognize a contact from across multiple contact sources
<ul>
<li>Handle name collisions (may be same or different person)</li>
<li>Handle same contact with different name under each source (perhaps via manual merge capability)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Sparklines for frequency of contacting per contact</li>
<li>Support multiple users : either each user manages their own contacts (walled gardens) or one user is designated the master and all users share in contacting that person’s contacts (community garden) (i.e. so it can be a team tool)</li>
<li>Support addition (and removal) of contact methods</li>
</ul>


Last Contacted

Easily keep track of the last time you interacted with your contacts.

<p>This plugin prevents WordPress from allowing and handling any search requests from the front-end of the site. Specifically, this plugin:</p>
<ul>
<li>Prevents the search form from appearing if the theme uses the standard <code>get_search_form()</code> function to display the search form.</li>
<li>Prevents the search form from appearing if the theme uses a <code>searchform.php</code> template</li>
<li>Prevents the search item from appearing in the admin tool bar when shown on the front-end.</li>
<li>Disables the search widget.
<ul>
<li>Removes the Search widget from the list of available widgets</li>
<li>Deactivates any search widgets currently in use in any sidebars (they are hidden, not deleted; they’ll reappear in their original locations if this plugin gets deactivated)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Disables the search block.
<ul>
<li>Removes the Search block from the list of available blocks</li>
<li>Deactivates any search blocks currently in use, such as in posts or as a widget (they are disabled, not deleted; they’ll reappear if this plugin gets deactivated and the associated placeholder block doesn’t get deleted)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>With or without a search form, the plugin prevents any direct or manual requests by visitors, via either GET or POST requests, from actually returning any search results.</li>
<li>Submitted attempts at a search will be given a 404 File Not Found response, rendered by your site’s 404.php template, if present.</li>
<li>Disables output of <code>SearchAction</code> in SEO schema by the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/" rel="ugc">Yoast SEO</a> plugin.</li>
</ul>
<p>The plugin only affects search on the front-end of the site. It does not disable searching in the admin section of the site.</p>

Disable Search


In 2024, numerous bots are crawling sites, generating significant search spam. Generally, site search incurs high costs, primarily because we end up paying for CPU resources consumed by spam.



If site search is not crucial for your website, I recommend activating this plugin.



Thank you, Scott, for maintaining this simple yet effective plugin!


The most effective way to avoid search spam

Disable the built-in front-end search capabilities of WordPress.
