This plugin is an improvement to the current WordPress plugin installation methods. It allows you to install one or more plugins simply by typing their names or download URLs in a textarea.
This means you can install all your favorite wordpress plugins in one go!
Furthermore, a bookmarklet is included which lets you install plugins directly from an external plugin download page. (See screenshots tab)
Example
The installation form will happily accept any of these inputs:
- WP DB Backup
- https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-db-backup/
- https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wp-db-backup.2.2.2.zip
Plugins don’t need to be hosted at WordPress.org. As long as you use the direct download URL, third party plugins will install without a hitch:
- http://www.feedburner.com/fb/products/feedburner_feedsmith_plugin_2.3.zip
