How to Install WordPress Plugins

How to install a wordpress plugins the easiest way?

Since WordPress version 2.7 until now version 2.9.2 3.0, installing a wordpress plugins cannot be easier. You don’t need an FTP client, nor do you need to login to your web hosting Cpanel. There’s no need to download a plugins to your hard drive in a zip file, then unzip it and upload it to your Cpanel. Those complicated methods are things of the past. Because now, you can install it right from your wordpress admin interface.

I. Using Search Interface (See Pic 1)

1. Login to your self-hosted wodpress admin.
2. Plugins -> Add New -> Search plugins you want to install. Example, enter WP Super-Cache and click Search Plugins.

4. Activate it, once it’s been installed. Done.

Since this facility available in WordPress, I hardly download any plugins to my hard drive. I just search it through [Admin -> Plugins -> Add New -> Search] interface. It’s more practical and save a lot of space of my hard drive. Hopefully, it saves yours as well.

3. Plugins -> Add New ->Upload
4. Browse the zip file of plugins -> click Install Now. (Remember, the plugins should be in Zip file)
5. Activate it, once it’s been installed. Done.
