Plugins
Plugins
(also called Add-ons, Components or Modules) are files
you usually download separately from WordPress basic installation
that add functionality. To install a plugin you generally
just need to put the plugin file into your 'wp-content/plugins'
directory. Once a plugin is installed, you may activate
it or deactivate it from the Plugins menu in your
WP administration.
If
something goes wrong with a plugin and you can't use WordPress,
delete that plugin from the wp-content/plugins
directory and it will be automatically deactivated.
To
upload the Module file into the 'wp-content/plugins'
directory of your site, please find this directory in
your CPanel -> FileManager -> 'www' Folder.
Once
you upload the Plugin into the 'wp-content/plugins'
directory, you will be able to see it at the Plugins
page. In order to activate the new module, you simply
click on Activate.
Not
all Plugins are easy to install so, please read this some
tips below about the things you should consider before
you install.
Before
you install.
Read through the ReadMe files and web pages, as well as
any comments regarding the Plugin on an author's website,
before you install. The more you know before you install,
the easier the process should be.
Plugins
require downloading and uploading to install.
You must be familiar with how to download and upload files
and how to use FTP, if required.
Plugins
may require modifying WordPress files and templates.
Familiarity with PHP, HTML, CSS, and CHMOD may be necessary.
Record
modifications.
If you make any changes to the WordPress files or templates,
make a note of it in the code by using comments before
and after the changes, and in a text file saved to your
site and on your desktop to remind you of any additions
or modifications to your default files or templates. This
will help you repeat these in the future if there are
any problems with your site.
