Where Are WordPress Plugins Stored?

WordPress plugins are stored in the WordPress plugin folder. When a user installs a plugin, WordPress copies the plugin files to the plugins folder and activates the plugin.

The plugins folder is located in the WordPress installation folder, typically at wp-content/plugins.

Some WordPress users might want to use a plugin from another site and install it on their WordPress site. To do this, the user copies the plugin files to the plugins folder and activates the plugin.

The plugin is then available to use in the WordPress site.

WordPress doesn’t allow users to install plugins from the public WordPress site. If a user wants to install a plugin from the public WordPress site, the user must first copy the plugin files to their site and then activate the plugin.
