Add Popular Plugins on WordPress Site Setup

Modified on Tue, 29 Apr at 3:45 PM

You can now select from a curated list of popular WordPress plugins during the site creation process, making it faster and easier to set up your site with essential tools from day one.
What’s New
  • Curated Plugin Selection:
     During site setup, pick from a list of widely used and recommended plugins.
  • Automatic Installation and Activation:
     Selected plugins are installed and activated automatically when your site is created.
  • Flexible and Optional:
     Choose only the plugins you want — no defaults, no forced installs. You can manage, deactivate, or remove them anytime post-setup.
How It Works
  • Go to 
    Sites → WordPress
     Dashboard.
  • Click 
    Create Site
  • On the 
    Popular Plugins
     step, select the plugins you want.
  • Finish setup
     — your selected plugins will be pre-installed and active.
  • Manage all installed plugins later from the WordPress → Plugins section.
