Time Saving Plugins<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we\u2019re developing a website, we all encounter issues and problems. What do we do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

a) Write the code to fix it<\/p>\n\n\n\n

b) Pay someone else to fix it<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In WordPress there\u2019s an option c \u2013 plugins!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WordPress plugins are pieces of software that can be uploaded to your site to extend and expand the functionality of your WordPress site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve had a problem or issue, the chances are, someone else had that issue too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The unique and cool thing about WordPress is; someone comes up with a solution, writes the code to fix it, packages it up as a plugin and makes their solution available to the whole community for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
