How to install plugin from WordPress.org

  1. First install this plugin to your blog and activate it.
  2. Now install its Greasemonkey script from the plugin page and you are all set. (If you have not installed Greasemonkey to your Firefox browser, you can install it from here)
  3. If you are not able to use the Greasemonkey script, you can use bookmarklet instead from plugin page.

From now onwards you can install plugins directly from WordPress.org in one-click.

I guess you get this feature by default on every Wordpress blog (version 2.5 or above). There is no need to install any separate plugin for this.

Simply navigate to your blog’s Dashboard. Now Plugins >> Add New

You can search for all Wordpress plugins there and install them in just three clicks (search – select – install). And also it provides you the freedom of uploading plugins from your computer and installing on your blog. There is no need of FTP clients in this process as well.

If you read the post clearly, I’ve mentioned your method in the 2nd step. But this method will directly install plugins from wordpress.org page without searching for plugins and without opening dashboard page. Its one-click method.

Hi,

I have read your 2 methods, but I still like installing and searching via my admin panel. I do understand what this plugin does, but this would just fit a few and not all. Still a great idea.

Thanks for sharing this. I see your site is PR 3, I don’t know if it went up or not as I don’t know your previous PR. Still, PR 3 is great :)

I just shared the method, hope it would be helpful for some.

My PR went up. Previously it was 0 :)
