Whats a WordPress Plugin?

WordPress Plugins are a way to add extra functionality to your WordPress site that is not included in the WordPress core setup.

Like WordPress Themes this is a plug and play way of getting the user interface of your WordPress site just the way you want it.

There are literally thousands of WordPress plugins available from free to commercially designed .You can see what Wordpress plugins are available here .

So what can a WordPress plugin do ?

For instance if you whant to add a Forum to your site ,like the one on WordPressWorld , you could use this Forum plugin .

WordPress plugins can add just about any functionality you can think of and the good news is that someone has probably already designed a plugin for what you are trying to acheive.
