Owning a plugin and having it on your site are two different steps. After you add a plugin from the Plugin Gallery, you decide where it goes — as a section on a page you already have, or as a page of its own in your menu. None of this needs a regeneration, so your design stays exactly as it is.
Where to do it
Open your site from your dashboard and go to its content settings. Two controls matter:
- Add a plugin section — inserts a plugin into one of your existing pages.
- Add existing section — brings back a section you removed earlier.
Sections can be reordered, so you can put a form above the fold or a gallery below your services.
Plugin pages and your menu
Some plugins are substantial enough to deserve a page rather than a slot on one — a full careers listing, for example. Those appear as a plugin page that you can attach to your navigation menu alongside your ordinary pages. Menus are covered in managing your site's navigation menu.
If you don't own any plugins yet
The settings will say so and link you to the Plugin Gallery, where you can browse what's available and add one. See an overview of plugins.
Publishing your changes
Adding or moving a section changes your site's content, so publish afterwards for visitors to see it. Because this is an edit rather than a regeneration, it doesn't count against your monthly regeneration allowance.
Choosing where to put things
- One clear purpose per page. Stacking five plugins on your home page dilutes all of them.
- Put the action next to the reason for it. A booking form sits well directly under the service it books.
- Check it on a phone. A section that reads well on a laptop can be a long scroll on mobile.
