I have problems installing new plugins

Plugin Central currently relies on file permissions set up correctly on your server, in order to write files to your plugin folder. Some servers require ftp login details to write the files and Plugin Central will support this option in the future.

How does installing plugins by name work?

If you type just a name of the plugin you want to install, Plugin Central will search the WordPress Plugin Repository and try to find a matching plugin automatically for you.

Reviews

This has been my goto plugin for every WordPress site that I run, and the developer has produced many other plugins which I rely on daily. Sadly, this one seems to be lacking a little love and is no longer working with the latest version of WordPress! 🙁 I’d like to give more than 1 star, but the definition of 2-stars is “works”, which Im afraid it doesn’t. Should the plugin receive a well-deserved refresh, I will most definitely be rushing back here to edit my review! 🙂

This is the first plugin I install on every new site. Probably saves me an hour of work every time, and always works perfectly.
