WordPress is a free software platform that operates your website. Plugins are software extensions that modify the way WordPress works, adding new fields and capabilities to your website. This is a list of everything that makes up your website.
- WordPress : this is the core functionality of the site
- Divi Theme (from Elegant Themes)
Note: active plugins are in bold face - Admin Columns: provides ability to add extra columns to WordPress lists (example: adding the Featured Image to the Testimonials list display.
