How To Build A Poker Web Site

The best part of WordPress has to be the plugins. Plugins are simply additional pieces of code written by some of the world’s best web programmers. Some cost money, but many are available for free on the WordPress plugins website. There are thousands of plugins available, some work with the current version of WordPress, some don’t. WordPress will alert you if a plugin has not be tested with your current version yet. If it’s an update or two behind, chances are it’ll still work.

So what are some examples of plugins? The plugin “All in One SEO” allows you to add pieces of information to your WordPress site that search engines such as Google will read. What winds up happening is you gain additional areas to write content at the bottom of your posts or pages, as well as an additional button on the left side of your dashboard to control what the search engines read. Other plugins range from allowing you to alter the way your categories are displayed, include photo galleries on your website, set up a contact form for your site, increase twitter followers, etc. We have a list of recommended plugins on the top of this website.

Now that we have that out of the way let’s get to how to add plugins to your website. On the dashboard scroll down to the section labeled “Plugins” on the left hand side. Click on it.

Now click on the tab labeled “Add New.”

You will now be given different options to find your plugin. If you downloaded a plugin already from the WordPress plugins website, you can simply click on “Upload” then find the zip file on your desktop and WordPress will install it for you. If you know the name of the plugin you are looking for you can search for it. If you just want to browse through what WordPress has available without visiting the WordPress site, simply click on either – Featured – Popular – Newest – Recently Updated.

Once you’ve found a plugin you like you’ll want to install it. On the right hand side of the screen click on “Install.”

A new window will pop up. Simply click on “Install Now.” Your plugin will be downloaded. Click “activate” and you’re pretty much done. Some plugins need to be configured. In the case of a photo gallery plugin, you simply need to add the photos you want to appear in the photo gallery.  Areas for the plugin configuration area to appear include the following tabs – “Plugins” – “Settings” or it’s own new tab.  With plugins such as a photo gallery, contact form, or link management you’ll also be given a certain code to add to a new page. It’ll look something like this [plugin code]. Simply copy that code into your page and click save and your photo gallery or contact form or link page will be live.

If you ever wish to deactivate a certain plugin simply click on “Installed” in your “Plugins” tab, find the plugin you would like to deactivate and click “deactivate” below the title of the plugin.
