Managing Plugins

Manage Plugins from the Settings button in the right corner of your dashboard, /admin/settings. Activate and deactivate installed plugins from this panel.

  • Install – Runs the installer for the plugin and activates the plugin.
  • Uninstall – Runs the uninstaller for the plugin.
  • Deactivate
  • Activate

In some cases, plugins can delete data associated with the plugin from your database on uninstall. Check the plugin's documentation before uninstalling if you're unsure.

Installing a Plugin

To add and activate a new plugin for your Omeka installation, do the following steps:

  1. Download and unzip the plugin.
  2. Add the plugin directory to the "plugins" directory.
  3. Log in to the admin panel, navigation to Settings > Plugins, find the plugin you uploaded, and click "Install."

Configuring a Plugin

Some plugins will require additional configuration before they can work with Omeka. If this is the case, a "Configuration" link will appear beside the plugin in the admin panel. Click on that link to configure the plugin as needed.
