There are quite literally thousands of WordPress Plugins and new ones every day. The best known saying on the net is “there’s a plugin for that”!
A plugin is add-on software that extends functionality and features to a WordPress website.
WordPress plugins integrate seamlessly with WordPress.
There is a plugin for EVERY single job
- Functionality
- Security
- Layout & Design
- SEO
Some plugins are free, some have free and Pro versions while others are only Pro.
How to get a plugin
We recommend searching the internet for the best plugin to suit your needs.
Search: “WordPress” + “Plugin” + “Required Function”
If you already know which plugin, either find it in the official WordPress plugin directory or directly in your WordPress Admin/Plugins/Add New
Install Plugin
Download the plugin into your Plugin Folder and then activate. Good plugins then guide you through installation, intergration, configuration and activation.
