Free WordPress Plugins
These plugins or code snippets are intentionally designed to be streamlined and lightweight. For easy integration, you can either add them to your functions.php (when possible) or simply upload them through the WordPress plugin upload feature. Many don’t come with an Admin interface – they’re plug-and-play. If customization is possible, you can make adjustments using the WordPress plugin editor or your preferred text editor before uploading. If you’d like to request a plugin, report a bug, or have any questions, please reach out. We’re always eager to connect with you.
