This tutorial will show you how to use the Joomla Plugin Manager to change the settings of the plugins you already have installed. For details on how to find install plugins, see the accompanying tutorials.

To begin, please go to Joomla back-end via this url: “your_site/administrator” (e.g:http://vinaora.com/joomla/administrator/)

• Start by going to Extensions. Click Plugin Manager
• Here, you’ll see any plugins that come with Joomla by default or that you’ve installed yourself
• Suppose we want to enable authentication using GMail. This is an extension that comes with Joomla but is disabled by default
• Click the name of the plugin. A description of the plugin should show up here
• You can change the access level or the display order on this page
• Some plugins will display additional parameters at right. This one, as you can see, does not
• Click Yes, next to Enabled to activate this plugin. Click [Save]
• The GMail Authentication plugin has been activated and saved!
• Some of the options available on each plugin’s page are also available here
• By clicking the icon under the Enabled column next to a plugin’s name, we can enable or disable a plugin
• Click the check-mark to disable GMail authentication
• The page will refresh to show that the plugin is now disabled
• Use the down and up arrows to reorder the plugins
• Notice that the plugin has been moved down in the list
• Lastly, you can change the plugin’s access level by clicking here until you’ve changed ot to the desired setting
• From Public to Registered…
• …and back to Public
• That’s it! You now know how to use the Joomla Plugin Manager
