Hello
First time forum developer here.
Trying to figure out how to place the plugins into the pages themselves since I do not know how to code.

Hi slickflair859

Plugins don't need to be placed onto pages and no coding should be necessary. They only need to be imported to the forum (or installed directly from the ProBoards Library to the forum). In some cases, the there are settings in the plugin that need to be addressed. Others are simply install and go.

To install directly from the ProBoards library, from your Admin Panel navigate:
Admin Home> Plugins > Plugin Library

Find the desired plugin, then click the Install button.

You'll immediately be taken to the About tab of the plugin, which usually includes instructions regarding any settings that might need to be addressed. If there are settings required, there will be additional tabs. Many plugins have a link on the About tab to a help thread on the Support Forum.

Asked because some some of them don't work or aren't showing within the forum itself.

If a plugin isn't working as-expected or as-advertised, your first step should be within the plugin itself. Check the About tab of the plugin. Some plugins require that entries be made in specific settings before the plugin can function.

Your next step would be to look for a Help Thread for that particular plugin on the Support Forum, generally found in the Plugin Library sub-board.

This thread: Quick Links to items in the Proboards Plugin Library has a listing of plugins found in the ProBoards Library as well as a direct link to the specific help thread for each plugin.

In some cases, the plugin author did not create a help thread. If that's the case for the plugin you're having a problem with, feel free to create a thread to request help with the issues you're encountering with that specific plugin. You should create a thread for that in the Plugins board, rather than in one of the sub-boards.
