Have you ever found yourself juggling multiple plugins on your WordPress site, wishing there was an easier way to clean up the clutter? Whether you’re a seasoned webmaster or a blogging newbie, managing plugins can quickly become overwhelming. That’s where the “Deactivate and Delete” plugin comes in, offering a straightforward solution to streamline your WordPress experience.
Managing WordPress plugins just got easier with the Deactivate and Delete plugin. Instead of the traditional two-step process of first deactivating a plugin and then deleting it, this tool combines both actions into a single click.
Key Features:
One-Click Removal: Add a “Deactivate and Delete” link to each plugin’s action menu for instant removal without the hassle of multiple steps.
Bulk Actions: Select multiple plugins and remove them all at once using the new bulk action option, perfect for cleaning up unused plugins quickly.
Smart Plugin Organization: Automatically sorts your plugins list with active plugins at the top and inactive ones below, making it easier to manage your plugin inventory.
Detailed Plugin Information: View helpful details for each plugin including installation date, last activation/deactivation times, and file size to make informed decisions about which plugins to keep or remove.
Safety Features: Built-in confirmation dialogs prevent accidental deletions, and the plugin protects itself from being deleted while active.
User Permission Control: Only users with proper plugin management permissions can access the deactivate and delete functionality, maintaining site security.
This plugin is perfect for WordPress administrators, developers, and site owners who regularly test plugins or need to maintain clean, efficient WordPress installations without the tedious back-and-forth of traditional plugin removal.
Testing
1. Activate the Plugin: Go to the WordPress admin dashboard, navigate to the “Plugins” page, and activate the Deactivate and Delete plugin.
2. Test Quick Action: On the “Plugins” page, look for the “Deactivate and Delete” option next to each active plugin. Click it and confirm the plugin is both deactivated and deleted.
This should ensure that the quick menu option properly deactivates and deletes the selected plugin.
