 * I’m looking for an option that allows remote extensions to be installed by pasting
   their URL into the WordPress management system

 * You mean plugins? That’s not available from the GUI, but you can it from a command
   line with wp-cli

 * I really couldn’t understand:
    1. Where to put the code that appears on the page
   there? 2. Should all the long code on the page name be inserted or only part 
   of it? 3. Where to add the extension address. 4. After putting the code in there,
   what should be done for it to start working? Thanks in advance who will explain
   to me. It will help!

 * Cool. So now you need to know if they’ll let you install (or whether pre-install)
   wp-cli.
