There are 3 different ways to install a plugin in WordPress – automatically from the Plugins repository, uploading through WordPress, and manually uploading via FTP. This post is going to cover how to install a plugin automatically from within WordPress.
To start, hover over the Plugins button on the left-side nav, and then select Add New from the fly-out menu.
From the Plugins main screen, enter your search term in the Search field and click Search Plugins.
In the list of search results, select the plugin you wish to install and click the Install Now link.
