<p>Save time setting up new sites by automatically downloading groups of plugins. Add new plugins by adding the slug from the plugin’s url in the WordPress plugin directory. For instance, the plugin “All In One SEO Pack” is listed here: <code>https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/</code>. Add “All In One SEO Pack” to an installation profile by adding <code>all-in-one-seo-pack</code> in the plugins field (one plugin per line).</p>
<p>WP Install Profiles (WPIP) allows users to define groups of plugins, called profiles. Once a profile has been entered, WPIP calls to the WordPress Plugin Directory, downloads the plugin files and unzips them to the site’s plugins folder. Additionally, WPIP saves the profile in a downloadable format, so you can upload it to your next site and download the same plugins with a single click.</p>
<p>Store your profiles online at http://plugins.ancillaryfactory.com and import them easily into all of your WordPress installs. <a href="http://plugins.ancillaryfactory.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Learn more and create an account</a></p>

<h3>Troubleshooting</h3>
<h4>Required PHP libraries</h4>
<ul>
<li>SimpleXML</li>
<li>ZipArchive</li>
</ul>
<p>These libraries are installed by default on most shared hosting accounts, but they may need to be installed manually if your site is hosted by certain providers, including Media Temple.</p>
<h4>File Permissions</h4>
<p>If you are unable to save or import profiles, you may need to set <code>wp-content/plugins/install-profiles/profiles</code> to 777.</p>


WP Install Profiles

Download custom collections of plugins automatically from the WordPress plugin directory.

<p>WPCore is a tool that allows you to manage collections of WordPress plugins and then quickly install them on any WordPress site. You can generate your collections at https://wpcore.com and then import them to your WordPress site by copying and pasting your unique collection key in WordPress.</p>


WPCore Plugin Manager

This plugin works by configuring the list of plugins on the developer's website, which then provides a code you can enter in the plugin's screen on your own website to retrieve the list. It is based on the tgmpa library, which contains a bug that causes an error message during some plugin installs, but the install still works so that's just an irritant.

The main problem is it's difficult to configure the list of plugins on the developer's website. The search function works very poorly, and the list of plugins is displayed in a space-wasting, unsorted way, making it hard to determine whether you have added all the plugins you need. There also doesn't seem to be a distinction between plugins that should just be installed, versus installed and activated.

Rather than a key to reference information on their website, it would actually be more convenient to have a field to paste in a list of the desired plugins. This is a bit too elaborate.

Plugin works okay, has one error, website is buggy


Love this plugin! I only use the free version and secretly wish it allowed up to 5 lists. But either way...thanks for making this!



Also wish it could install themes as well.


Clever idea! Great for quickly installing plugins

Create plugin collections and install them in one click on any WordPress site.
