20 should be the maximum. But we do know some users who have 20+ plugins installed. The less plugins you have, the faster your site will load. Although you can optimize the plugins by combining the CSS and JavaScript files. Not something that beginners can do though.

Great list of plugins. 3 matches with my 5 must have WordPress plugins: http://robert-chambers.com/blog/articles/5-must-have-wordpress-plugins/

Google XML Sitemaps and KB Robots.txt are my other two. Great for SEO.

Hello Clive,

We understand your concerns. This list contain plugins that every blog should have. WP Super Cache has an option where you can click on the Update .htaccess and it will automatically do the rewrite. Now we understand some hosts like Media Temple would not allow for that, but Plesk is not Beginner friendly either. If you follow our six step guide, then you will see that we only recommend cPanel hosting sites for this vary reason. This plugin is too essential to leave out, so perhaps we need to write a tutorial on installing WP Super Cache, and link it here.

Re WP Super Cache that isn’t exactly WP beginner friendly!

The instructions would scare off any blogging beginner as it involves changing .htacces files and there are a whole list of potential issues that I think would send most people running for the hills.

I’m not denying its usefulness just stating that I think it’s maybe a recommendation too far for a site aimed at the WP beginner.
