Introduction

Built by our developers, the Hootsuite App Directory is full of apps that will help you do your job better. And because we want to make sure you have all the information you need to make an informed decision, we’ve included a plugin for each app in the directory.

A plugin is a piece of code that adds functionality to an app, and it’s something that our developers build specifically for each app. For example, if an app needs to be able to post to Facebook, our developers will create a plugin that allows the app to do that.

The advantage of having a plugin is that it makes it possible for the app to work with other parts of Hootsuite, like our dashboards and streams. This means that you can use the app to do things like post updates to your social media accounts or view your Twitter mentions, all from within Hootsuite.

In order to use an app with Hootsuite, you’ll need to install the plugin for that app. You can find plugins in the Hootsuite App Directory by searching for the app you want to use and then selecting the “Install Plugin” button.

Once you’ve installed a plugin, you’ll be able to use the app within Hootsuite just like any other app.

What is a plugin?

A plugin is a piece of software that can add functionality to your website or blog. For example, you could use a plugin to add a “like” button to each post on your blog, or to add a Twitter feed to your website.

There are thousands of plugins available for WordPress, and many of them are free. To find plugins, you can search the WordPress plugin directory (https://wordpress.org/plugins/).

When you find a plugin that you want to use, you can install it directly from your WordPress admin area. Simply click on the “Add New” link in the “Plugins” menu, and then search for the plugin by name. Once you’ve found it, click “Install Now” and follow the prompts.

What are some of the benefits of using a plugin?

There are many benefits of using plugins, including:

-Increased functionality: Plugins can add new features to your website or blog, making it more versatile and powerful.
-Customization: Plugins can be used to customize your site or blog to better suit your needs and preferences.
