To do an automatic install of the plugin, log in to your WordPress dashboard, navigate to the Plugins menu, and click“ Add New.” In the search field type “Button Widget”, then click “Search Plugins.” Once you’ve found the plugin, you can view details about it such as the point release, rating, and description.
