Plugins

Plugins provide additional optional functionality not available out-of-the-box from WordPress.

At York, WordPress websites  come with certain pre-installed Plugins available for any sites to use. The following is considered before a Plugin is installed on the WordPress system:

• whether there is already a plugin in the system that does what the requested plugin does (redundancy);
• whether the plugin works with the multi-site install of WordPress used at York; and
• whether the plugin is secure and well maintained.

To see which Plugins are available:

1. Log into your WordPress website
2. Click on Plugins

All Plugins available will be listed there.
