<p>Redefines the location of the /mu-plugins directory, via writing constants to your wp-config.php file, to ensure that no code published to the default location will automatically run on your website.</p>
<p>Since many site administrators are not using /mu-plugins, we want to be sure that no mu-plugins “suddenly” appear on our website due to their nature: auto-activation is BAD when you didn’t intend for code to be there!</p>
<p>DisableMU is not for every website. Many development houses, system admins, and hosting companies have very legitimate uses for /mu-plugins and have built business plans around utilizing this feature of WordPress. By installing and activating DisableMU on your website, you may break things. Please exercise caution and only utilize this plugin if you know what you are doing. As with most plugins, DisableMU is written with the intent of being helpful but you are responsible for its use or actions on your own website.</p>

<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>
<ul>
<li>create, edit & delete MU-plugins with MU Plugins Tool;</li>
<li>upload MU-plugins from your computer;</li>
<li>view a MU-plugin’s code by hovering over the name;</li>
<li>change the MU Plugins Tool menu location, e.g., under ‘Plugins’ or ‘Settings’;</li>
<li>recreate the starter plugin at will</li>
</ul>
<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>
