Plugin

A plugin is a piece of code that enables you to add, modify, or remove functionality in a standard WordPress installation.

WordPress includes generic features to cater to the requirements of all websites. By adding extensions, you can make an installation more tailored to specific needs.

Some of the most popular plugins for customizing your WordPress installation include, but are not limited to, SEO, e-commerce, and form creation.

You can install free plugins directly from the WordPress plugin directory via the Plugins menu in your admin section. Alternatively, you can purchase premium (paid) plugins from independent companies.
