WordPress Developer · Plugin Developer · Open Source Contributor
I build free, open-source WordPress plugins from Dhaka, Bangladesh. My plugins are published on WordPress.org and run on real sites every day. Online, people know me as devmonowar.
Plugins on WordPress.org
Each one started as a real problem on a real site, not as an idea for a product. All free, all GPL, all reviewed by the WordPress.org team before release.
-
General Slider
A slider built on the lightweight Splide engine — no jQuery, accessible by default, and its CSS and JavaScript load only on pages that actually show a slider.
-
Advanced Testimonial
A plugin built only for testimonials — several display layouts and card styles, a front-end submission form, and Schema.org review markup so Google can show star ratings.
-
Free Widgets For Elementor
The widgets Elementor's free core is missing — Pricing Table, Flip Box, Countdown Timer and more — without a giant addon pack or an upgrade prompt.
-
Janitorix Media Audit
Proves an image is unused before it recommends deleting it. Confidence and risk are scored separately, and the evidence behind every verdict is there to inspect.
-
CrawlWatch – AI Bot Insights
Shows which AI crawlers read your site and which pages they take, tracks visitors arriving from AI assistants, and writes your
llms.txtfor you. Nothing leaves your server. -
ScheduleLens – Cron Viewer & Manager
Every scheduled job on one screen — run, pause, or delete jobs and fix missed schedule and wp-cron issues. Admin-only, no frontend load, no tracking.
What I work with
Latest guides
What the problem was, what I did about it, and what I would tell someone doing the same thing.
-
llms.txt for WordPress — write one by hand in an hour
A small file that tells AI assistants what your site means, so they quote you instead of improvising. Format plus a full example.
-
AI bot traffic in WordPress — see it, measure it, decide what to do
AI crawlers are reading your site right now and WordPress shows you nothing about it. How to see them in your logs and decide per bot.

How to build a fast, accessible slider in WordPress with General Slider
Why most slider plugins add weight to pages that do not even use them, and how to set up one that does not.
See the demos before you import
Every ready-made demo my plugins ship with is catalogued in one place — a screenshot and a description of each, so you know what you are importing before you import it.
Now building themes too
Alo Blog — a free, lightweight writing theme. Single column, sidebar, no builder, no slider, no upsells. Read the launch post, see the theme, or browse all themes.
