To Plugin...

...or Not To Plugin!

Now that we have our Test Site so we can Wreck it without losing any valuable creation, lest Test some Cache Plugins.

1/ Once you've logged into your WreckSite SiteRubix website, scroll down to Plugins on the left side menu, and click on Plugins.

2/ At the top of the page, click on 'Add New' next to the Plugins heading.

3/ At the top of the page to the right, there is a Search Bar, click in the Search Bar field and type in ZenCache Plugin.

The following screen will appear:

4/ Click on the 'Install Now' button to the right of the ZenCache title.

5/ Click on 'Activate Plugin' at the bottom, under the confirmation that the Plugin was 'Successfully Installed' - to activate ZenCache in your Wordpress platform.

6/ Now you have ZenCache Plugin installed, make sure you enable it and follow the instructions on how to set it up. Close Wordpress and open it again and check to see if your site is STILL working. If not, delete the SiteRubix WreckSite and start the whole process again of creating a new same-named SiteRubix WrechSite... NOTING that ZenCache did not work for you.

7/ If the Plugin did work for you, choose another Plugin you wish to test with this one and check if you are able to open the website and work with it, or do you get errors?

8/ If you get errors, then you know that those Plugins don't work together, choose which one you want to keep and delete the other.

That my friends, is how you test WP Plugins, or Wreck Sites! ;-)

Have fun trying it out!


Let's recap what we've learnt on the next page.

Creating a test site was one of the first things I did when I joined WA way back when.
It certainly pays to have one and not just to try out plugins.
Every WA member should have one.
Have a great day.
