How to Install WordPress Plugins

Plugins are like apps to your WordPress site, they allow you to add additional features (contact forms, photo galleries, etc.) to your website.

To install plugins, first go to WordPress dashboard and click on Plugins >> Add New. Next, search for the name of the plugin (Yoast, Akismet) then click on the install button.

If you know the name of a plugin you want to install, just type the name of the plugin.

If you want to install any third party plugins on your site, those plugins come as a zip file. Just click on Plugins >> Add New and then upload button.

Next, you have to click on the choose file button to select the plugin zip file from your computer and then click on 'Install now'.
