What are WordPress plugins?

WordPress plugins extend the functionality of your site. They are add-on bits of code that let you do neat things. Read more about plugins here and browse WordPress plugins here.

There are thousands of plugins of various qualities, but KNIT only makes a small subset of these available. If you need a plugin that is not available on KNIT, let us know and we can evaluate and install it if it meets our standards and does not closely replicate a plugin we already have.

Please email Erin Glass (erglass@ucsd.edu) if you’d like to see any WordPress plugins activated on KNIT.
