What is a plugin?

Modified on Wed, 10 Apr at 5:21 AM

Plugins provide functionality for specific options on your website. Similar to application on your mobile device, when you first purchased your phone you could make calls, send messages, and a few other things, but to check your email you probably had to download an app.


Your website may require additional plugins to sell subscriptions, create a custom login page, or thousands of other taks that help to power your brand. 


FREE PLUGINS

WordPress offers thousands of plugins for your website and most of them are absolutely free. Some are paid through the developers website, so we recommend you always look at how many downloads they have, customer reviews, and the plugin documentation to look for any compatibility issues before downloading.


PAID PLUGINS

Paid plugins are sold in many places from Envato, WooCommerce, and many third-part sites, but beware of those third-party discounted sites because they are not recommended for safety and security reasons.


We recommend the following steps before downloading plugins:

✅ Always review the plugin documentation to check for compatibility issues before download.
✅ Always record the email and password you used to purchase so you can download updates to your plugin.
✅ If you aren't sure, ask your developer before purchasing a plugin and adding it to your website.


We offer 500+ plugins on our website, just visit our shop for more information.
