This plugin is an improvement to the current WordPress plugin installation methods. It allows you to install one or more plugins simply by typing their names or download URLs in a textarea.
All credit goes to improvingtheweb. This plugin is only a modification of <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/improved-plugin-installation/" rel="ugc">Improved Plugin Installation</a>. The idea was to run the original plugin in the newer versions of WordPress. That’s it. Also, we cut off the bookmarklet feature.
Thank you very much for the contributions: <a href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/drewapicture/" rel="nofollow ugc">drewapicture</a>
Example
The installation form will accept any of these inputs:
<ul>
<li>Contact Form 7</li>
<li>https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/contact-form-7/</li>
<li>https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/contact-form-7.3.3.2.zip</li>
</ul>
Plugins don’t need to be hosted at wordpress.org. As long as you use the direct download URL, third party plugins will install without a problem.

We do a lot of WordPress installs for clients when we set up new websites for them. One hassle we always go through is setting up the development site as a sub-domain or as a complete other domain, and then having to move it to the new domain. Since WordPress uses absolute URLs in posts, links, etc., editing by hand is definitely not an option. We also couldn’t find a really good solution, so I wrote a plugin that will go through all of your posts, pages, options and guids and update your old domain to your new domain!

Change WP URL

Use this only if you're trying to move your WordPress install to another domain.
