# Plugin Guide

The Plugins page in WordPress is your gateway to extending your website’s
features and functionality without needing to know how to code. By understanding
how to install, activate, update, and manage plugins, you can customize your
website to suit your needs.



Adding New Plugins

 1. On the Plugins Page Click on ‘Add New’
    On the Plugins page, click the Add New button. This will take you to the
    plugin repository.

 2. Search for Plugins
    
    * At the top of the page, there’s a search bar where you can search for
      plugins by name, keyword, or feature.
    
    * You can also browse plugins by category: Featured, Popular, Recommended,
      or Favorites.

 3. Install a Plugin
    
    * Once you find a plugin you want to install, click the Install Now button
      next to the plugin.
    
    * After installation, you will see an Activate button. Click this to
      activate the plugin and start using it.

 

Plugins to Stay Away From

 1. Any plugin that involves site caching
    
    * This is because we run our own caching process when dealing with InkSoft
      API. Installing you’re owning caching plugin will interfere. 
    
    * If you must install a caching plugin, be sure to whitelist the following
      pages on you’re site in that plugin’s settings: /products , /details ,
      /account , /cart , /login , /templates

 2. Any plugin that involves wooCommerce

 * Our integration with InkSoft involves using their cart and checkout process,
   which means any wooCommerce extension wouldn’t work.
