Wordpress Plugins

Wordpress Plugins

Similar to changing themes in your Wordpress admin panel, plugins are also activated, downloaded, installed and managed from your web panel. Plugins are snippets (little pieces) of code that individual developers have designed and tested with Wordpress to achieve a specific requirement. In easier terms, and using an example. If you wanted to install Google Analytics on your website and you were designing the site in the original format of html pages, you would have to place a snippet of code with an unique Google reference number on your own website. On every page. And every time you add another page you have to do this over and over again.

Wordpress has a plugin to do this. In fact, as competition for kudos is so fierce in the development circle of Wordpress plugins and add ons, that there are a variety to choose from. Most of these have a section in your Wordpress admin panel, and when you ”click” it, it allows you just to put your unique Google reference number in it, and that is that. The plugin will now automatically insert the analytics code on each and every page you have, and you create in the future.

Whatever you think of …..

someone has already done it. That is my personal experience of Wordpress. Whenever you reach some kind of obstacle, some aspect that you have to add to your website you will usually find someone else has already thought of it, written something about it, or there is some plugins available. The active community of Wordpress users like to write about their problems and challenges so you are likely to find a solution quickly and easily. And if you can’t? We support our clients with all challenges they find, as we would like to know the answer as well. If we have trained you and there is an issue you cannot resolve, we will access your web panel, fix it, and write a tutorial on how to do it. So other users can get access to the free information on the best free web application in the world.

Plugins can also come associated with a widget. The plugin works in the background performing the task you require, and the widget becomes the visible feature you can view on your site. For instance, below the menu is a login button. This is a custom  login button, and differs from the one that comes installed standard with Wordpress. This is a plugin, with a widget. So we have clicked once to install the plugin, once to activate it. Then we clicked and changed the settings. After we saved that we went to the widgets section, and dragged it into position. Viola. Does that sound really complicated? It isn’t, and the whole process of adding it, took less than two minutes. Removing it, should you want to, takes 3 seconds. And deactivating a plugin? 3 Seconds as well.
