To install a WordPress plugin, follow these steps:
-
Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
-
Go to Plugins > Add New in the left-hand menu.
-
Use the search bar to find a specific plugin, or browse through the available plugins.
-
When you find a plugin you want to install, click the Install Now button.
-
After the plugin is installed, click the Activate button to enable it on your site.
Once a plugin is activated, it will be available for use on your WordPress site. You may need to configure the plugin's settings through the WordPress dashboard or the plugin's own settings page in order to use its full functionality.
Alternatively, you can install a WordPress plugin manually by downloading the plugin from the WordPress.org plugin directory or a third-party source and uploading it to your WordPress installation via FTP. This method may be necessary if you are unable to install the plugin through the WordPress dashboard. Consult the plugin's documentation or the WordPress.org support forums for specific instructions on how to install a WordPress plugin manually.
