You can choose and install according to your need.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Note:<\/span><\/strong><em> You cannot install plugins on the WordPress.com website because it has limitations. To use plugins in WordPress.com, you have to upgrade to their business plan. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>On the contrary, you can install any plugin on your self-hosted WordPress.org website.<\/em><\/p>\n<h4><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How to Install a WordPress Plugin<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You can install WordPress plugins in three ways.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">1. Install using Plugin search<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">2. Install using the plugin upload option\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">3. Install using FTP<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Ready? Let&#8217;s start one by one.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">1. Using WordPress Plugin Search<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Plugin search is the easiest way to install a WordPress plugin. The only limitation is that the plugin must be Present in the\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">WordPress plugin directory<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. In the plugin directory, only free plugins are included.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Moving to the method, First, you have to visit the WordPress admin dashboard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Then, go to the\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Plugins \u00bb Add New\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">option<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">On the Add Plugin page, search the plugin by typing the plugin name or the functionality you want.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-892\" src=\"https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/searchplugins.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/searchplugins.png 550w, https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/searchplugins-300x197.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">After that, you will get the list of plugins like the below example.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Pick the plugin you want. Let us show you an example. We want a WPForms plugin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-893\" src=\"https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/pluginsearchresults.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/pluginsearchresults.png 550w, https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/pluginsearchresults-300x181.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Now, click the &#8216;Install Now&#8217; option next to it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The plugin will be installed on your WordPress website. After Installation, you will notice the &#8216;Activate&#8217; option.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><strong>Note-<\/strong> <em>You can install the plugin on your site, but it will not work unless you activate it.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Now, click on the activate option to use it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-894\" src=\"https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/activateplugin.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"321\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/activateplugin.png 550w, https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/activateplugin-300x175.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It&#8217;s Done. You have successfully installed the WordPress plugin o your site.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Next, you have to configure the plugin settings. These settings vary for each plugin. We are not covering that topic here.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">2. Using the WordPress Plugin Upload option<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The WordPress plugin directory does not include paid WordPress plugins. So these plugins cannot be installed using the first method. WordPress Provides the upload option to install paid plugins.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">To install the paid plugin on your WordPress website, you have to download the plugin from the source. The downloaded plugin will be a zip file.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Then, visit the WordPress admin area and go to\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Plugins \u00bb Add New<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Now, click the &#8216;Upload Plugin&#8217; option on top.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-895\" src=\"https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/uploadpluginbutton.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"321\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/uploadpluginbutton.png 550w, https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/uploadpluginbutton-300x175.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">After that, you will see the plugin upload form.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Now, select the &#8216;Choose File&#8217; tab and select the plugin file you downloaded earlier.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-896\" src=\"https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/selectpluginzipfile.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/selectpluginzipfile.png 550w, https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/selectpluginzipfile-300x156.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Now click the &#8216;Install Now&#8217; option.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The plugin will be installed on your WordPress site. And You will get a success message after the installation is completed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Now, click on the Activate Plugin option to use the plugin on your site.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-897\" src=\"https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/plugininstalledviaupload.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/plugininstalledviaupload.png 550w, https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/plugininstalledviaupload-300x137.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Next, you have to configure the plugin settings. These settings vary for each plugin. We are not covering that topic here.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">3. Using FTP<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Mostly, you will need to use the above two methods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">However, there may be some rare cases where your hosting provider may have file restrictions that could stop you from installing the plugin from the admin area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In that case, you can install the plugin using FTP. This method is less friendly for beginners. Let&#8217;s move to the method itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You have to download the plugin&#8217;s source file. It will be a zip file, and you have to extract the zip file on your computer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">While extracting the plugin zip file, it will create a new folder with the same name.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You will need to upload this folder to your website using an FTP client.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Now, you have to access your host through the FTP manager.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><strong>Note-<\/strong> <em>You will need your FTP username and password. If you don&#8217;t have one, contact your WordPress hosting provider and ask them to provide it.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">To connect your website to the FTP client, Open the FTP client on your computer and enter the login credentials provided by your WordPress hosting provider.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">After that, visit the \/wp-content\/plugins\/ folder on your website.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Then, you have to upload the extracted folder to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/ folder on your web server.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-898\" src=\"https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/uploadpluginviaftp.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/uploadpluginviaftp.png 550w, https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/uploadpluginviaftp-300x164.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Once you upload the files, It&#8217;s done.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Go to your WordPress admin area to see the installed plugins in your WordPress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Click on the\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Plugins<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0option to see the plugins on the plugin page.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-899\" src=\"https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/activateinstalledplugin.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/activateinstalledplugin.png 550w, https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/activateinstalledplugin-300x190.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Now, click on the Activate Plugin option to use the plugin on your site.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Next, you have to configure the plugin settings.
