Title: MU Plugins Tool Author: AK Ted Published: December 24, 2012 Last modified: January 26, 2013 --- Search plugins This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/mu-plugins-tool.svg) # MU Plugins Tool By [AK Ted](https://profiles.wordpress.org/akted/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/mu-plugins-tool.0.2.0.zip) * [Details](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/mu-plugins-tool/#description) * [Reviews](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/mu-plugins-tool/#reviews) * [Installation](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/mu-plugins-tool/#installation) * [Development](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/mu-plugins-tool/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/mu-plugins-tool/) ## Description When you activate MU Plugins Tool, a folder named ‘mu-plugins’ is created, if necessary, in your WordPress installation (default ‘WordPress_Root/wp-content/mu-plugins’) and a starter mu-plugin is created. The starter mu-plugin changes the admin footer text once you’ve enabled it through MU Plugins Tool. For more information, see the Codex [Must-Use Plugins](https://codex.wordpress.org/Must_Use_Plugins) page. ### Future Features – no promises 😉 * create, edit & delete MU-plugins with MU Plugins Tool; * upload MU-plugins from your computer; * view a MU-plugin’s code by hovering over the name; * change the MU Plugins Tool menu location, e.g., under ‘Plugins’ or ‘Settings’; * recreate the starter plugin at will ### Acknowledgement I would like to thank [David Gwyer](http://www.presscoders.com), the developer of [Plugin Options Starter Kit](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/plugin-options-starter-kit)( POSK). It’s an awesome tool for learning the ins and outs of designing an options page for your plugin. MU Plugins Tool would’ve been much harder to make without POSK as a learning tool. ## Installation 1. Upload `mu-plugins-tool` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/a581a277c5716eaea4f28e52176a19655b278a9b1ffeb09557e470bea50b7443? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Excellent!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-6012/)󠁿 [octoninjacat](https://profiles.wordpress.org/octoninjacat/) March 3, 2018 Super useful!
