Free WordPress Themes & Plugins
I have a small collection of WordPress Themes & Plugins that are yours to download. They are free, forever, and you can do whatever you want to them (except for repackaging them and/or distributing them/selling them yourself).
Some of these are truly helpful for SEO and admin dashboard customization. Some are a little more niche.
If you enjoy using any of these, I would love to hear your feedback, I love hearing your comments. You can contact me here.
Please note that I am just a guy online–not a professional software developer. These are just things I make in my free time. All downloads are presented as-is with no warranty or support offered. Please see the bottom of this page for the full disclaimer.

Ethan’s Taxonomy SEO
ETSEO adds proper customization fields for your individual Category and Tag edit screens. You can now independently edit each category’s/tag’s title tag, meta description, canonical link, meta robots tag, and body class. You also get a text entry field to insert custom HTML into that page’s <head> section. Finally, you can actually optimize your categories and tags!

Ethan’s Admin Palettes
EAP adds a whopping FORTY extra admin color schemes to your WordPress user dashboard selection screen, and if that’s not enough, it gives you a built-in palette builder with live preview, so you can make and save your own custom admin themes and make them as beautiful or otherwise as you’d like.

HTMLquake
This is a nearly useless plugin that lets you customize how much each different HTML element and/or CSS selector on a page shakes, as if it’s experiencing an earthquake. If you’ve ever thought “this page isn’t shaky enough for me” then I guess this plugin is for you.

Glucose Corner Vintage Blog Theme
GCVB is a love letter to one of my favorite old-fashioned HTML blogs from the late ’90s, back when it was coded in frames and tables. There’s a scrolling little index panel pinned to a corner of your screen (all flexible and adjustable) and you get some delicious personal diary or Xanga vibes. No graphics baked in, but you get a couple patterns to choose from, with customizable colors–or you can bring in your own images.
Because I hate things that are new, GCVB is built with classic PHP templates, no block editor, no site builder, no drag and drop messiness. You get the customizer and you’re happy about it.

Full Disclaimer
Like I said above: I’m just one person doing this for fun–not a company, not even a professional developer-for-hire. Everything on this page is offered as-is, with no warranties of any kind, spoken or written or implied. That means no guarantee something will work perfectly for your setup, keep working after a future WordPress update, or ever get patched, updated, or supported going forward–I’m not obligated to maintain any of this, though I might anyway, because I use it myself.
I’ve gone over the code in good faith and don’t believe anything here is unsafe or broken–I DO run these on my own sites, after all. But I can’t promise perfection, and by downloading and using anything here, you’re accepting that you’re doing so entirely at your own risk. I’m not liable for any damages, data loss, downtime, or plugin conflicts that come from using this stuff. As with any third-party code, it’s smart to back up your site and test somewhere low-stakes before installing anything on a site that matters to you.
Basically: take these, enjoy them, poke around in the code if you’re curious, and know there’s no support line to call if something breaks. The only thing I expressly forbid is taking them and selling them yourself, or repackaging them or rebranding them as your own, or redistributing them, anything like that. You can contact me here; thank you for being polite.
