<p>If you’re a WordPress admin you probably want a plugin with the following features:</p>
<ul>
<li>install, update and delete plugins and themes</li>
<li>it should be able to handle various locations, i.e. at least these <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins#Plugin_Repositories" title="WordPress Codex Plugin Repositories" rel="nofollow ugc">plugin repositories</a> and maybe some from <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=wordpress%20plugins" title="Google search on WordPress plugins" rel="nofollow ugc">somewhere</a> else.</li>
<li>basic search functionality for all these plugins and themes</li>
</ul>
<p>This plugins lets you do (almost) all of these things.</p>
<p>Have a look at this <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BzX7bv3DgM" title="Introduction to Extension Manager for WordPress" rel="nofollow ugc">video</a> to see how it works.</p>
<h3>Compatibility</h3>
<p>This plugin was tested with PHP 5.2.x. Currently it won’t work with<br />
older versions, i.e. PHP 4. Please be patient until I’ve fixed that.</p>
<p>But it’s possible that this plugin will never work with PHP 4 because<br />
it’s likely that I will not find the time to implement that. So please<br />
consider updating your installation of PHP.</p>

<p>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!</p>


Change WP URL

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