Overview

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 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
