Installing WordPress Plugins

Last Updated: Jan 11, 2022

A plugin is a piece of software that can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress site.

 

1. To install a WordPress plugin that you have downloaded you must first login to your WordPress admin panel. You can access the WordPress admin panel by going to domain.com/wp-admin.

Note: If your plugin has issues installing you may need to create a php.ini file to adjust the upload limit for your WordPress. Also, plugins which require external verification are not supported with our hosting.
