README
A library you can use to make any plugins required and auto-activate.
- Nobody can de-activate the plugin from the WordPress Admin
- They are auto-activated when required
To use, place this library in your mu-plugins/
directory (if you don't have one, create one in wp-content/
), then use the example below:
Installation & Update
With Composer
Add the following to your composer.json
{ "extra": { "installer-paths": { "mu-plugins/{$name}/": ["type:wordpress-muplugin"] } } }
Then use:
composer require webdevstudios/wds-required-plugins
This will install the mu-plugin
, e.g. mu-plugins/wds-required-plugins
in wp-content
based projects.
You will have to require it in e.g. mu-plugins/wds-required-plugins-list.php
:
<?php require WPMU_PLUGIN_DIR . '/wds-required-plugins/wds-required-plugins.php'; function wds_required_plugins_add( $required ) { return array_merge( $required, [ 'my-plugin/my-plugin.php', ] ); } add_filter( 'wds_network_required_plugins', 'wds_required_plugins_add' );
Example Usage
<?php /** * Add required plugins to WDS_Required_Plugins. * * @param array $required Array of required plugins in `plugin_dir/plugin_file.php` form. * * @return array Modified array of required plugins. */ function wds_required_plugins_add( $required ) { return array_merge( $required, [ 'jetpack/jetpack.php', 'sample-plugin/sample-plugin.php', ] ); } add_filter( 'wds_required_plugins', 'wds_required_plugins_add' );
Use the following filter instead to network activate plugins:
add_filter( 'wds_network_required_plugins', 'wds_required_plugins_add' );
Change the Text:
To change the label from Required Plugin to something else, use the following filter/code:
/** * Modify the required-plugin label. * * @param string $label Label markup. * * @return string (modified) label markup. */ function change_wds_required_plugins_text( $label ) { $label_text = __( 'Required Plugin for ACME', 'acme-prefix' ); $label = sprintf( '<span style="color: #888">%s</span>', $label_text ); return $label; } add_filter( 'wds_required_plugins_text', 'change_wds_required_plugins_text' );
Hide Required Plugins (off by default)
To hide your required plugins from the plugins list, use the following filter/code:
add_filter( 'wds_required_plugins_remove_from_list', '__return_true' );
This will make any plugin that is required simply not show in the plugins list.
