<p>“Awesome plugin! So helpful in development! I’m a WordPress developer and constantly get into situations where I have to download a theme or plugin from the clients’ servers to debug/customize/etc. In these situations, “Download Plugins and Themes from Dashboard” is the number one choice and way to go. Works perfectly, as described. Many thanks to the developer.

Thank you for this fantastic plugin, it is a life saver for those who don't have FTP capabilities.


Life saver.

Plugin just do it job and do it well

So many times I've been hired to debug a site, and I need the exact versions of the plugins on the client site, especially paid plugins. This makes it easy to just grab those without asking the client to learn how to download them, zip them up, and send them over.

This plugin has saved me tons of time.
