Can I Install Plugins on My PTA Website?

1 min read · Updated July 15, 2026 · FAQ

Quick Answer

No. Plugins are disabled on individual PTA sites because all 11 sites share one system. A bad plugin could break everyone's site. Request new features through the tech committee instead.

Details

Because all PTA websites run on a shared system (called a “multisite”), installing a plugin on one site could affect all the others. Not all plugins are tested to work safely in this setup.

If you need a feature that isn’t available, here’s what to do:

  1. Email technologycommittee@montclairpta.org with your request
  2. Describe what you’re trying to accomplish (not just the plugin name)
  3. The tech committee will evaluate it and install it if it’s safe for the multisite

Where Should PTA Calendar Events Go?
Add events to your PTA website calendar. They'll show up on the main PTAC site too. Note: they don't automatically appear on the school district's calendar — that's a separate system.
Can I Undo Changes on the Website?
It's limited. The page builder (Beaver Builder) doesn't have a great undo feature. Best practice: always make changes on a copy of the page first, then swap it in once you're happy.
What's the Difference Between the PTA Website and the School Website?
They're completely separate. The school district runs the school website. The PTA runs the PTA website. They may link to each other, but different people manage them.
Where Should I Save PTA Documents?
Always save PTA files on the Shared Drive in Google Workspace — never in "My Files." Shared Drives are accessible to everyone who needs them and make transitions to new officers seamless.
