In this article, we’ll show you how to add two popular plugins to your WordPress site – Jetpack and Yoast SEO – using Bluehost’s managed WordPress service.
What are WordPress Plugins?
WordPress plugins are pieces of code that allow you to do things like add new features to your blog, customize your blog’s appearance, or extend WordPress’ functionality.
To install a plugin on Bluehost, first go to the WordPress plugin directory on your server (usually located at /usr/local/www/wordpress/plugins), and then use the wp plugin installer to install the plugin. For example, to install the Jetpack plugin, you would type the following command:
wp plugin installer jetpack
After installing a plugin, you can access it by going to the “Plugins” menu in your WordPress admin area and selecting it from the list of available plugins.

Managing WordPress Plugin Installation
If you’re like most WordPress bloggers, you probably rely on plugins to help you manage your blog content, improve your site’s usability, and make your blog more interactive. But what if you want to install a plugin on a managed WordPress blog hosted by BlueHost?
In this article, we’ll show you how to add plugins to a BlueHost managed WordPress blog using the BlueHost Web Management interface.
First, sign in to your BlueHost account and open the Web Management interface. Under the “Blog” section, click the “Plugins” link. You’ll see a list of all the plugins installed on your blog. To add a new plugin, click the “Add New” button and enter the details of the plugin (including its name and description). Then click the “Install” button. The plugin will be installed and will appear in the “Plugins” list under “Blog”. You can now use it just like any other WordPress plugin.
If you need to uninstall a plugin from your blog, click the “Uninstall” button next to it and follow the instructions provided.
Updating WordPress Plugins
Adding plugins to WordPress is a relatively easy process, and there are many available from the WordPress.org repository. Plugins can add features to your website or make tasks such as content management or social media integration easier.
To add a plugin to your site, first browse the WordPress.org repository and find the plugin you want to install. You can search by keyword, author, or description. Once you’ve found the plugin you want, click on the “Install Now” button to download and install it on your site.
Once the plugin is installed, you will need to activate it. To do this, click on the “Activate” link in the plugin’s main menu. This will open up a new window that will ask you for a few details about the plugin. Once you have activated the plugin, all of its features will be available in your site’s admin area.
Deleting WordPress Plugins
If you’re looking to get rid of a plugin, deletion is the easiest and most straightforward way to go about it. The first step is to locate the plugin in your WordPress admin area.
Once you’ve located it, click on the “Plugins” tab and then select the “Disable” button next to the plugin you want to delete. This will remove the plugin from your site, but it will not delete any of its files. If you want to permanently delete the plugin, you’ll need to follow these steps:
1. Locate the plugin’s folder on your server using FTP or a file manager. The plugin folder will usually be located in the same directory as your WordPress installation.
2. Delete all of the files inside of the plugin’s folder. Make sure to backup any existing data before deleting the files so that your site doesn’t break when you disable the plugin.
3. Activate the plugin again by clicking on its “Enable” button in the “Plugins” tab of your WordPress admin area.
Conclusion
If you are looking to add plugins to your WordPress site hosted on Bluehost, there are a few things you need to take into account. First, make sure that your host supports the plugin installation type that you want to use. For example, if you want to use the Yoast SEO plugin, then Bluehost will need to install it for you using their app store. Second, be aware of the security measures that your chosen plugin might put in place. Many plugins will require administrator privileges in order for them to function properly, so make sure that you have those rights before attempting to install a plugin. And finally, be sure to read the documentation accompanying the plugin before installing it – often times there are helpful tips and tricks included therein!
