They are the building blocks that are creating the magic of the CMS. Basically, it doesn&#8217;t matter what kind of website you are crafting. At one point or another, you&#8217;ll need a plugin.<\/p>\n<p>Especially if your reason to use WordPress is the lack of coding skills.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that there are so many plugins, serving so many purposes that there is even a saying that states &#8220;there is a plugin for that&#8221;. Where &#8220;that&#8221; stands for pretty much everything you may need.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially, whatever feature you need, you can add a plugin that is\u00a0doing exactly that.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>How to Add a Plugin to WordPress?<\/h2>\n<p>Adding a plugin to WordPress resembles the <a href=\"\/wordpress-tutorials\/install-wordpress-theme\/\">theme installation process<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;How come?&#8217; &#8211; you may ask.<\/p>\n<p>Well, the main ways to add a plugin &#8211; by searching and by uploading one that you&#8217;ve already downloaded or bought and you have somewhere on your computer &#8211; are pretty much the same as the ones we used to install a theme. In this tutorial, we&#8217;ll cover both of those methods to install a plugin.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Method 1: Installing a Plugin Using the WordPress Search Engine<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Step 1: Go to Plugins -&gt; Add new<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/How-to-enter-the-plugin-installator.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8168 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/How-to-enter-the-plugin-installator.png\" alt=\"How to Add a Plugin to WordPress\" width=\"1048\" height=\"610\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Step 2: Search for the Plugin You Need<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8169\" style=\"width: 1744px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone lt;g class= g class=\"><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/How-to-search-for-plugin-in-WordPress.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8169\" class=\"wp-image-8169 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/How-to-search-for-plugin-in-WordPress.png\" alt=\"How to Add Plugins to WordPress\" width=\"1734\" height=\"757\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-8169\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Here you can either type functionality or the name of the plugin you are looking for.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Step 3: Add the Chosen Plugin in WordPress<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8170\" style=\"width: 1741px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone lt;g class= g class=\"><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/How-to-install-a-plugin-in-wordpress.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8170\" class=\"wp-image-8170 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/How-to-install-a-plugin-in-wordpress.png\" alt=\"WordPress Add Plugin\" width=\"1731\" height=\"429\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-8170\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">As you can see in the top right corner of the image, for the purpose of the tutorial we are searching for a &#8220;contact form&#8221;.
