Choosing the best plugins for your site​

You can find the plugins with the largest number of downloads in the last three months at Moodle plugins directory: Stats . These are the plugins most likely to be most useful for most sites. It would probably be a good idea to consider them first.

Installing directly from the Moodle plugins directory​

  1. Login as an admin and go to Site administration > Plugins > Install plugins. (If you can't find this location, then plugin installation is prevented on your site.)

  2. Click the button 'Install plugins from Moodle plugins directory'.

  3. Select your current Moodle version, then search for a plugin with an Install button, click the Install button, then click Continue.

  4. Confirm the installation request.

  5. Check the plugin validation report.

Installing via uploaded ZIP file​

  1. Go to the Moodle plugins directory, select your current Moodle version, then choose a plugin with a Download button and download the ZIP file.

  2. Login to your Moodle site as an admin and go to Administration > Site administration > Plugins > Install plugins.

  3. Upload the ZIP file. You should only be prompted to add extra details (in the Show more section) if your plugin is not automatically detected.

  4. If your target directory is not writable, you will see a warning message.

  5. Check the plugin validation report.

Uninstalling a plugin​

To uninstall a plugin

1.Go to Administration> Site Administration > Plugins > Plugins overview and click the Uninstall link opposite the plugin you wish to remove.

  1. Use a file manager to remove/delete the actual plugin directory as instructed, otherwise Moodle will reinstall it next time you access the site administration.

Plugins overview​

Plugins overview highlighting available check button.

The Plugins overview page in Administration > Site Administration > Plugins > Plugins overview lists all installed plugins, together with the version number, release, availability (enabled or disabled) and settings link (if applicable).

A ‘Check for available updates' button enables admins to quickly check for any updates available for plugins installed on the site (from the plugins directory). Any updates available are highlighted, with further information and a download link in the note’s column opposite the plugin.

Plugin updating from within Moodle.​

An administrator can enable updates deployment in Administration > Site Administration > Server > Update notifications. Then when updates are available, 'Install this update' buttons are shown on the Plugins overview page. See Automatic updates deployment for more details.
