How to install a WordPress plugin?

Plugins are extremely important for the smooth running of your blog. We have thousands of plugins available in WordPress. Plugins are the ones that keep your site going and also they provide numerous features and facilities so that you can have a fully developed, beautiful blog/site.

We have plugins for:

  • Adding slider
  • Building a landing page and the list goes on…

For a particular function, we have several companies providing the plugins for that. For example, for site security we have plugins like Wordfence, Sucuri, Jetpack Security and so many other companies providing the plugins for the same. So you need to choose the plugins wisely. You can check the reviews and ratings of the plugins before installing so that you can get the best.
