Introduction to WordPress Plugins
WordPress Plugins are small software extensions that can be added quickly to WordPress. With over 40,000 available there is something for everyone – whatever you want to do!
What is a WordPress Plugin?
WordPress plugins extend the functionality of WordPress. Whether it is the look and feel, ease of use for designing or maybe adding a feature such as online payments or a membership system – there are 1000’s of plugins available for every type of website.
Who makes WordPress plugins?
It is free to make a plugin and free to distribute it – via your own website or the WordPress plugin repository.
Some developers make plugins to help everyone out (with perhaps a problem they also faced) and some developers have managed to turn their humble plugin into a full-time business.
