Plugins add features to WordPress, from contact forms to SEO tools to shops. Installing and managing them well keeps your site capable without slowing it down. This guide explains how.
Installing a plugin from the directory #
- Ir para Plug-ins > Adicionar novo.
- Search for the plugin you want.
- Clique em Instalar agora, então Ativar.
Uploading a plugin #
- Download the plugin’s .zip file.
- Ir para Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.
- Choose the file, click Instalar agora, então Ativar.
Managing your plugins #
- Keep plugins updated for security and compatibility.
- Deactivate and delete any you no longer use.
- Avoid multiple plugins that do the same job.
Keep it lean for speed and security #
Every plugin adds code and potential risk. A smaller set of well-maintained, reputable plugins is faster and safer than dozens of rarely used ones. Install only what you genuinely need.
Solução de problemas #
- Site breaks after activating a plugin: deactivate it (via the dashboard, or by renaming its folder in File Manager if you are locked out).
- Plugin conflict: deactivate plugins one by one to find the cause.
- Upload too large: raise the PHP upload limit or use File Manager.
