Have you ever had that situation where you have a bunch of plugins installed and you can’t remember why half of them are there?
It is important to clean out unused plugins and keep your plugins up to date, but this can be difficult if you have forgotten why you installed them in the first place. This is particularly true for sites with multiple admin users, and for agencies that manage their clients sites.
You don’t want to delete an old plugin without being 100% sure why it was installed and therefore know if it is still needed.
The Plugin Auditor tells you why each plugin was installed and also keeps a record of who installed it so that you know who to ask if you have any questions when performing maintenance on the site.
Plugin Auditor can be installed at any time but to get the most benefit from it, it should be installed as the first plugin that you install on any WordPress site that you manage.

The new version updated my Matheus has been a massive help in maintaining some of our client websites, especially in the cases where there are a number of different admin users that have installed plugins.  Looking forward to future enhancements.



Life saver

I stumbled upon this plugin by chance. I started using is and really like it!
It helps me manage the maintenance of websites with a large number of plugins, especially on websites where more people are contributing in different ways.

I have some ideas for more features, but still, it works great! I do recommend it!

Great plugin, helps with maintenance a lot!
