Summary. GoHighLevel's WordPress site creation flow includes a plugin selection step where you pick from recommended, e-commerce, security, performance, and portfolio plugins using checkboxes. Selected plugins are installed automatically when the site is created. If you need a plugin that is not in the list, you can search for and install it from the WordPress Plugins section after the site is live.
