One of the best ways to add functionality to your site is through the wordpress plugins. Site administrators can view available plugins by going to the Dashboard and selecting Plugins from the menu. You can activate or de-activate any plugins you wish, and access documentation on the support site.
Default plugins
Certain security or functionality plugins are automatically added to all new sites, saving time for administrators. As a site owner you can disable these, but why would you want to?
- Accessibility
- Completely Disable Comments
- Google Maps
- Hide YouTube Related Videos
- Image Optimizer
- Live Shortcodes
Optional Plugins
These are plugins that you can enable or disable as needed. You will want to use them judiciously – too many plugins can make editing your site more complicated than it needs to be and slow down performance.
