Summary

This chapter was all about expanding the features available on your site and making your content more attractive without the need to touch any source code. Basically, that's the whole idea behind plugins.

Some developers might not need plugins because they can code things on their own. However, for the rest of the world, plugins are what makes WordPress easy to use and attractive for everyone.

At this point, we know how to control the content of our WordPress site, but that's only the beginning. In the next chapter, we will learn how to take care of basic website security and prevent hackers from taking over our sites.
