Wordpress plugins introduction

Overview

Plugins (see “Wordpress plugin” definition for more info) can also be found on the Wordpress site at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ and are organized by keyword/tags – check out the left sidebar for a list of popular tags. I have also made a list of useful plugins.

Managing existing plugins

To view your existing plugins, click on “Plugins” in the left sidebar menu of admin. This will show you a list of all installed plugins (active and inactive).

Adding a new plugin

Clicking on the “Plugins” sidebar menu entry will display a drop down where you will see a link called “Add New” on the side menu. This will allow you to search and install plugins, both directly from the Wordpress site or from your computer in case you’ve previously downloaded a plugin from another site.
