Moving a WordPress site to EmDash goes smoothly until you reach the plugins. FAQ blocks, `[year]` shortcodes, lead magnets and contact forms have no EmDash version. Gaurav Tiwari ported four of his own WordPress plugins and added one more. All five are free and open source.

## The five plugins

- **Core Forms:** forms with spam protection, a submissions inbox, and email and webhook actions.
- **Lead Capture:** lead magnets with expiring download links and optional double opt-in.
- **Content Blocks:** ten editorial blocks, such as FAQs, callouts and comparisons.
- **Dynamic Dates:** 36 date shortcodes that resolve when the page renders.
- **Emailit:** an email provider for invites, magic links and account recovery.
