WD Multi Plugin Installer

Install many WordPress plugins at once — from ZIP uploads, direct URLs, the wordpress.org repository, or GitHub releases — from a single workspace under Plugins → Multi Plugin Installer.

Features

• Upload — drag-and-drop one or many .zip files. Per-file status, log, and progress.
• From URL — paste any number of direct ZIP URLs (one per line).
• From Repository — search and install from wordpress.org by slug.
• GitHub — install the latest release from owner/repo. Optional access token for private repositories.
• Bundles — save a named, reusable list of installable items (URL / slug / GitHub). Install the whole set with one click. Import / export as JSON.
• Activate after install — opt-in toggle on every tab.
• Activity log — last 200 install attempts, with status, source, and message.
• WP-CLI — wp wd-mpi install <source>... and wp wd-mpi bundle-install <id>.
• REST API — namespaced under /wp-json/wd-mpi/v1/.
• Security — nonce + install_plugins + upload_plugins capability checks on every endpoint, MIME/extension validation, temp file cleanup, no inline form posts.

Requirements

• WordPress 6.2+
• PHP 7.4+
