<p>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 <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Must_Use_Plugins" rel="nofollow ugc">Must-Use Plugins</a> page.</p>
<h3>Future Features – no promises 😉</h3>

<h3>Acknowledgement</h3>
<p>I would like to thank <a href="http://www.presscoders.com" rel="nofollow ugc">David Gwyer</a>, the developer of <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/plugin-options-starter-kit" rel="ugc">Plugin Options Starter Kit</a> (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.</p>
