What Is The iControlWP Plugin Manager And How Does It Work?

The purpose of the Plugin Manager is to give you the best view on your plugins as they are installed and activated across all you sites.

You can:

review the distribution and status (installation, activation, version, available updates) of a single plugin across all sites
review the distribution and status of all your plugins across all your sites.
install, upgrade, activate, deactivate and uninstall a plugin on some or all of your websites with a single command.

How does it work?

To get started with the Plugin Manager, you simply load it from the "Plugins" section:

You will be provided with an option to select either a plugin from your list of all plugins, or you can select a site to review the plugins that have been detected on that site.

With Plugin Manager, you have the ability to:

update plugin
install plugin
install (+ activate) plugin
activate plugin
deactivate plugin
uninstall plugin

Important: Plugin actions executed in the plugin manager are performed in real-time, while you wait.
