The steps discussed below illustrates how to install a free WordPress plugin :

NB: How to install a WordPress plugin that’s free is differently from installing a premium plugin.

To make it easy, we have created a video tutorial on how to install a WordPress plugin that you can watch below.

If you prefer the written version follow the steps below:

1. Go to “Plugins” in your WordPress dashboard

Go to your admin panel – http://your-domain.com/wp-admin/ and click on “Plugins” in the sidebar menu:

2. Click on “Add New” To Add The WordPress Plugin

Find the “Add New” button near the top of the page:

3. Find your plugin via search

The next page shows a short list of featured/recommended plugins, and a handy search field on the right – this is the one we’re going to use.

Type the name of the plugin that you want to install in that search field. In my case, I’m going to demonstrate how to install our Revive Old Post plugin:

Now, the great thing here is that you don’t even need to input the plugin’s whole name. For example, I’m just going to use “revive” and press the enter key on my keyboard.

4. Install your plugin

Once you see the plugin you’re looking for on the list, all you need to do now is click on the “Install Now” button. When you do that, WordPress is going to fetch the plugin and have it installed on your site. It works much like installing a new app on your phone.

5. Activate the plugin

Finally when the installation is complete, click on the “Activate Plugin” link that has just appeared:

It’s done! The plugin has been activated, and WordPress will let you know about this fact through a small note at the top of the page:
