Installing Additional Ocean or Recommended Plugins

From the Useful Plugins section of the OceanWP Panel, you can install additional plugins or all available free Ocean plugins.

Errors While Installing Recommended Plugin?

99% of errors when installing recommended plugin are due to strict server permissions not allowing the plugin to be saved in your wp-content/plugins/ folder.

If you're unable to resolve the permission issues with your hosting provider support, you can still install all necessary plugins manually from the WordPress repository.
