Popis
Archive any plugin with one click. Archived plugins are hidden from your Plugins list and safely moved out of wp-content/plugins into a dedicated archive directory for easy restore later. Ideal for preventing accidental re-activation, testing different plugin sets, and keeping occasional-use tools out of sight until needed.
Features
- One‑click Archive link on the Plugins screen
- Bulk Archive / Unarchive / Delete actions
- Optional auto‑deactivate before archiving (recommended)
- Manage multiple archive directories and switch between them
- “Unarchive All” button on the Archived Plugins tab
- Non‑destructive: archiving does not remove a plugin’s settings/data
- Uses the built‑in WordPress Filesystem API with capability and nonce checks
How it works
- When you Archive a plugin, its folder is moved from wp-content/plugins to your chosen archive directory (e.g., wp-content/plugins-archive-xxxxxx).
- Archived plugins are removed from the Plugins list, so they can’t be accidentally activated.
- You may switch the active archive directory or create new ones in Settings Plugin Archiver.
Common use cases
- Maintain a “toolbox” of favorite utilities you don’t need to see every day
- Quarantine buggy or compromised plugins to avoid accidental activation
- Test different plugin stacks by pulling sets into and out of the archive
- Share management with others while reducing “oops, I clicked Activate” incidents

Nejčastější dotazy
-
Why was this plugin created?
-
In my day‑to‑day work cleaning malware from hacked websites, I often saw sites break after a plugin update. Deactivating the problem plugin wasn’t enough—someone would “Activate” it later and take the site down again. Archiving removes the temptation entirely.
-
If I deactivate or remove this plugin, what happens to archived plugins?
-
Nothing changes. Archived plugins remain safely in your archive directories until you unarchive them or move them back manually.
-
Are you planning an “unarchive all on plugin deletion” option?
-
No. The Plugin Archiver supports multiple archive directories; since duplicates may exist, it wouldn’t know which version to unarchive. However, there is an “Unarchive All” button on the Archived Plugins tab while the plugin is active.
-
Why not just delete plugins?
-
Some plugins remove their settings/data on deletion. Archiving keeps everything intact so you can restore later without reconfiguration.
-
Where are archived plugins stored?
-
By default in wp-content/plugins-[name] (e.g., plugins-archive-xxxxxx). You can create and switch archives in Settings Plugin Archiver.
-
Does archiving delete plugin data?
-
No. Archiving only moves plugin files.
