# Plugins

A plugin is one extra feature built into your website. Your inquiry inbox is
one. Your photo folders are another.

This screen lists the ones fitted to your site. Every row has a switch, and
that switch is the whole point of the screen. It turns the feature on or off.

We chose this list for you and switched it on. It is right as it stands.

Go to **Admin**, then **Plugins**.

![The Plugins screen with three numbered marks: 1 on the plugin named site-theme, 2 on the gear icon at the end of its row, and 3 on the switch at the end of the row below.](../../../assets/screenshots/admin-plugins-list.png)

*One row is one feature. A blue switch means it is on.*

**1. The name.** Plugins are listed by a short code name, not by the name in
your menu. `site-theme` sets your colors. `contact-form` runs your inquiry
form. `gallery` runs your photo albums. The number beside each one is its
version.

**2. The gear.** Some rows have one. It opens that feature's own settings. The
next section uses this gear.

**3. The switch.** Blue is on. Gray is off. Read the warning below first.

The arrow at the end of a row opens a panel of detail about that plugin. It is
safe to read.

:::caution[Warning]
A switch takes effect on your live website at once. There is no **Save** and no
**Publish**. Nothing asks you if you are sure.

Switch `contact-form` off and the form on your Contact page stops working. No
inquiry can reach you. Nothing new lands in [Leads](/plugins/leads/), and no
email goes out. Your website still looks fine, so you would not know until a
customer said something.

Every other row does the same to its own feature. Leave the switches alone.

:::danger[Contact support]
Contact us before you switch anything off here. Contact us right away if
something has already been switched off.

Tell us the name on the row and roughly when. Switching it back on is quick.
The inquiries people tried to send while it was off are gone, and nothing can
bring those back.

## Changing your colors

This is the one job on this screen you can do yourself. It sets the colors of
your whole website.

:::caution[Warning]
New colors reach every page of your website at once.

Most of your site follows the new colors on its own. Parts we styled by hand
for you may not. A button or a panel can end up hard to read.

Look at your own pages after the change. If something looks wrong, contact us
and we will fix it.

Here are the steps.

1. Go to **Admin**, then **Plugins**.
2. Find the row named `site-theme`.
3. Click the gear icon at the end of that row. It is number 2 in the picture
   above.
4. Click the **Colour palette** box and pick a palette from the list.
5. Click **Save Settings**.

A message tells you the settings were saved. Now click **View Site** at the top
right. The new colors are already on your website.

Each palette has a name, and after the name the two colors it leans on.
**Ember Trail** is orange and amber. **Pine Hollow** is green and teal. There
are seventeen to choose from. [Step 3: Choose your colors](/setup/choose-your-colors/)
shows every one of them in light and in dark, so you can pick by looking.

Under the palette is **Colour mode**. It has two choices. **Light** gives you
dark words on a pale background, and **Dark** does the reverse. Every visitor
gets the one you pick. There is no switch on your website for them to change
it.

![The top of the live website in the Ember Trail palette. The business name, the Get A Quote button and the Get a free quote button are all orange.](../../../assets/screenshots/site-theme-before.png)

*Before: Ember Trail.*

![The same page in the Pine Hollow palette. The business name and the same two buttons are now green, and the buttons have rounded ends.](../../../assets/screenshots/site-theme-after.png)

*After: Pine Hollow. One box, one click, and every page has changed.*

A palette brings more than color with it. Look at the two buttons. Square
corners in one picture, rounded in the other. That comes with the palette, and
you cannot have one without the other.

:::tip[Tip]
Nothing here is permanent. Write down the name you are on now, before you try
anything.

To go back, pick that palette again and click **Save Settings**. Your website
returns to exactly what it was.
