If you do not have your FTP username and password, then you might want to contact your <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wordpress-hosting/" title="How to Choose the Best WordPress Hosting?">WordPress hosting</a> provider and ask them.</p> <p>When you have the extracted zip folder and FTP login details ready, you can open the FTP client on your computer.</p> <p>The first thing you must do is connect to your website using the FTP login credentials provided by your web host. Once connected, you can head over to the <code>/wp-content/plugins/</code> folder on your website.</p> <p>Here, simply upload the folder you extracted from the zip file to the <code>/wp-content/plugins/</code> folder on your web server.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" width="550" height="301" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=&#039;http://www.w3.org/2000/svg&#039;%20width=&#039;550&#039;%20height=&#039;301&#039;%20viewBox=&#039;0%200%20550%20301&#039;%3E%3C/svg%3E" alt="Uploading a plugin via FTP" class="wp-image-73632 perfmatters-lazy" title="Uploading a plugin via FTP" data-src="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/uploadpluginviaftp.png" data-srcset="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/uploadpluginviaftp.png 550w, https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/uploadpluginviaftp-300x164.png 300w" data-sizes="(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px" /><noscript><img decoding="async" width="550" height="301" src="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/uploadpluginviaftp.png" alt="Uploading a plugin via FTP" class="wp-image-73632" title="Uploading a plugin via FTP" srcset="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/uploadpluginviaftp.png 550w, https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/uploadpluginviaftp-300x164.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px" /></noscript></figure> <p>After uploading the files, you&#8217;ll need to visit the WordPress admin area and click the &#8216;Plugins&#8217; menu item.</p> <p>You should see that your plugin was successfully installed on the plugins page.

As the largest WordPress resource site, we&#8217;ve heard so many of them.</p> <p>In this section, we&#8217;ll answer some of the most frequently asked questions about installing WordPress plugins.</p> <p><strong>1. How do I find the best WordPress plugins to install on my website?</strong></p> <p>There are more than 59,000 WordPress plugins in the free WordPress plugin directory alone, and many more are available as <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wordpress-plugins/" title="Premium WordPress Plugins">premium plugins</a>. This makes it a bit difficult to find the best plugin for the feature they need.</p> <p>We have compiled a list of all the <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/showcase/24-must-have-wordpress-plugins-for-business-websites/" title="24 Must Have WordPress Plugins for Business Websites">essential WordPress plugins</a> that most WordPress websites need.

What is the difference between installed and active plugins?</strong></p> <p>WordPress allows you to install a plugin and not use it at all. To use a plugin on your site, you need to &#8216;Activate&#8217; it.</p> <p>You can see active plugins by visiting the &#8216;Plugins&#8217; page in the WordPress admin area. They will be highlighted with a blue background.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" width="550" height="341" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=&#039;http://www.w3.org/2000/svg&#039;%20width=&#039;550&#039;%20height=&#039;341&#039;%20viewBox=&#039;0%200%20550%20341&#039;%3E%3C/svg%3E" alt="Installed and active plugins" class="wp-image-73635 perfmatters-lazy" title="Installed and active plugins" data-src="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/installedvsactiveplugins.jpg" data-srcset="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/installedvsactiveplugins.jpg 550w, https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/installedvsactiveplugins-300x186.jpg 300w" data-sizes="(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px" /><noscript><img decoding="async" width="550" height="341" src="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/installedvsactiveplugins.jpg" alt="Installed and active plugins" class="wp-image-73635" title="Installed and active plugins" srcset="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/installedvsactiveplugins.jpg 550w, https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/installedvsactiveplugins-300x186.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px" /></noscript></figure> <p>Plugins with a white background are installed on your website but are not active.</p> <p><strong>3.
