# phpList plugins Your phpList can be extended, adapted and customized by the use of plugins. You can: - Use plugins from the **[phpList plugin library](https://resources.phplist.com/plugins/start)**, which are developed by the phpList community - Develop your own plugin, or pay a developer to build it for you - Contribute your plugin back into the plugin library. This chapter will show you how to install, enable/disable and delete a plugin. In the example used, we will change the choice of editor used in our install by installing the CKEditorPlugin and disabling the fckphplist plugin. ## The plugins page To get to the plugins page from the main menu, click **Config** > **Manage plugins**.

To find a new plugin, click the **Find plugins** link.

You can access the Plugin library at [https://resources.phplist.com/plugins/start](https://resources.phplist.com/plugins/start) [![Screenshot-from-2019-06-28-14-29-26.png](https://www.phplist.org/manual/uploads/images/gallery/2019-06/scaled-1680-/aautYWHMsHYCrrov-Screenshot-from-2019-06-28-14-29-26.png)](https://www.phplist.org/manual/uploads/images/gallery/2019-06/aautYWHMsHYCrrov-Screenshot-from-2019-06-28-14-29-26.png) ## Getting the plugin URL from the plugin library Once you have clicked the **Find plugins** link, you will see the plugin library. Scroll down or search to find the desired plugin. In this example, we are installing the "Attribute Select Plugin". Right click on the **Download** link and choose the option to copy the URL. The wording of this option will depend on your browser: in this case it reads **Copy Link Location**.

Paste the url into the box labelled **Plugin package URL** and click the **Install plugin** below.

Click **Continue.** [![Screenshot-from-2019-06-28-14-34-04.png](https://www.phplist.org/manual/uploads/images/gallery/2019-06/scaled-1680-/3FhmFKcLQCKOhHxH-Screenshot-from-2019-06-28-14-34-04.png)](https://www.phplist.org/manual/uploads/images/gallery/2019-06/3FhmFKcLQCKOhHxH-Screenshot-from-2019-06-28-14-34-04.png) ## Turning plugins on and off Once you are on the plugins page, either from **Config** > **Manage plugins** on the main menu, or after installing a plugin and clicking **Continue**, you can turn plugins on or off. A green tick icon indicates that the plugin is enabled (on), and a red round icon indicates that the plugin is disabled (off). To disable (turn off) a plugin, click on the "Disable" button on your right.
