Plugin Organizer

Follow the documentation page for disable plugins on wp-admin.

Go to the Plugin Organizer settings page and click the button under selective plugin loading to turn it on. During the upgrade process selective plugin loading got turned off.

Go to the Plugin Organizer settings page and click the button under selective plugin loading to turn it on. Then visit your homepage. Finally return to the Plugin Organizer settings page and see if the button is still set to on. If it is not then you are running an old version of the MU component. Copy the PluginOrganizerMU.class.php file to the mu-plugins folder then deactivate and reactivate the plugin. Repeat these steps to ensure that the plugin is working. Remember that you will need to update the PluginOrganizerMU.class.php file whenever the plugin is updated and check your settings afterward.

Yes it has been tested on several multi-site installs. Both subdomain and sub folder types.

Yes it has been tested with custom post types. You can add support for your custom post types on the settings page.

“IMPORTANT: To enable selective plugin loading you must move the /wp-content/plugins/plugin-organizer/lib/PluginOrganizerMU.class.php file to /wp-content/mu-plugins or wherever your mu-plugins folder is located. If the mu-plugins directory does not exist you can create it. The plugin will attempt to create this directory and move the file itself when activated. Depending on your file permissions it may not be successful.”

The mu-plugins folder contains “Must Use” plugins that are loaded before regular plugins. The mu is not related to WordPress MU. This was added to regular WordPress in 3.0 I believe. I only placed this one class in the MU folder because I wanted to have my plugin run as a normal plugin so it could be disabled if needed.

Example 1: If you have a large number of plugins and don’t want them all to load for every page you can disable the unneeded plugins for each individual page. Or you can globally disable them and enable them for each post or page you will need them on. Example 2: If you have plugins that conflict with eachother then you can disable the plugins that are conflicting for each indivdual post or page. Example 3: If you have plugins that conflict with eachother then you can disable the plugins globally and activate them only on posts or pages where they will be used.

Create a plugin filter with your home page url. Like https://www.sterup.com/. Then enable or disable the plugins you want with that filter.

Yes. You can use limited wildcards in the permalink structure. For instance you can match the url https://www.sterup.com/some/pretty/permalink/ by entering https://www.sterup.com/some/ /permalink/. You can also match the url by entering https://www.sterup.com/ /pretty/permalink/ as the permalink. The only character that is recognized is the * character. It can only replace one piece of the url in between the / characters.

Yes. Go to the Post Type Plugins page under Plugin Organizer in the admin menu. Here you can select the post type you want to change and disable/enable plugins for that post type as long as the setting hasn’t been overridden on the individual posts.

To load a plugin only in the admin you need to enable selective plugin loading for the admin areas and fuzzy url matching. Then globally disable the plugin you want to turn off on the front end. Next create a plugin filter with the permalink set to your admin url. Like https://www.sterup.com/wp-admin/. Then enable the plugin for that plugin filter and select also affect children. Now the plugin should only be loaded in the admin.

Yes. Go to the Plugin Organizer settings page and check the box next to each of the roles you want to be able to disable/enable plugins with. THen a separate container will appear on the post edit screen for you to disable/enable plugins with.

When the form is submitted it is not submitting to the page you are viewing. It is submitting to an ajax endpoint. Which is a different URL. You need to enable the plugin on that URL to get the form working. Here are 2 examples of how to do that.
