<p><strong>SMNTCS Show Symlinked Plugins</strong> is a powerful WordPress plugin designed to prevent the accidental deletion or updating of symlinked plugins. It is an essential tool for developers who use symbolic links (symlinks) for plugin development or deployment.</p>
<p>When working with WordPress, it is quite common to symlink plugins for various reasons. For example, you might want to test changes without affecting the original plugin, or symlink plugins across multiple sites for easy updates. However, WordPress, by default, does not distinguish between regular and symlinked plugins on the admin plugins page. This can lead to unintended deletions or updates.</p>
<p><strong>SMNTCS Show Symlinked Plugins</strong> addresses this by adding visible indicators to symlinked plugins and adjusting their options.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<h3>Indicate Symlinked Plugins</h3>
<p>The plugin adds a ‘Symlinked’ text indicator in front of the action row of each symlinked plugin on the WordPress plugins page. This makes it visually clear which plugins are symlinked, helping you to avoid mistakes.</p>
<h3>Adjust Plugin Actions</h3>
<p>For symlinked plugins, the plugin removes the delete button when the plugin is inactive, ensuring that you cannot accidentally delete symlinked plugins. Furthermore, it removes the option to enable auto-updates for symlinked plugins to prevent unintentional updates.</p>
<h3>Custom Styling</h3>
<p>The plugin comes with an admin CSS file that you can customize to adjust how symlinked plugins are displayed.</p>
<h3>Contribute</h3>
<p>Contributions are more than welcome. Simply head over to <a href="https://github.com/nielslange/smntcs-show-symlinked-plugins" rel="nofollow ugc">Github</a> and open an issue or a pull request.</p>

Very useful tool if you're a developer. It correctly highlights all plugins that are symlinked and prevents me from accidentally update/delete them. Good job!

<p>This free plugin allows you to add a Patreon Button under the content to have your users to become your patrons on Patreon easily. It also provides two customizable Widgets that you can use in your sidebar.</p>
<p>The buttons and widgets blend in with your theme seamlessly. You can use the new or old Patreon button or you can use your own button image.</p>
<p>You can customize the call to action text over the buttons or turn them on/off, as well as use your own call to action text. You can disable the Buttons under content if you wish to use only the Widgets as well.</p>
<p>You can enter the default account to be used in buttons in plugin options page.</p>
<p>In addition, all authors will be able to add their own Patreon username in their profile to be used for the Buttons, so the Buttons showing under their posts as well as the Author Widget in sidebar will go to their Patreon profile. This feature can be disabled if you wish, from plugin settings, with “Force Site Button instead of Author” option.</p>
<p>More features are planned as they become available in Patreon API.</p>
<p>You can upgrade to Patron Plugin Pro, add the Patron Content Manager addon and enable powerful content-locking options to serve Patron only content from your own website! Patron Plugin Pro will also allow you to put your patrons directly to patron pipeline instead of your profile. Check it out below:</p>

<p>After install, activate the plugin, and that’s it.</p>
<p>You should fill in the Site Patreon Account in plugin settings page. This is the Patreon account which will be used for buttons for any user who did not put their Patreon account in their profile on your site.</p>
<p>You will find the two widgets you can use in your Appearance -> Widgets section. Widgets are customizable</p>


CodeBard's Patron Button and Widgets for Patreon

This is a plugin i developed after seeing that i needed an easy way to add Patreon buttons to my own blogs. (I write on tech, gaming, politics, foreign policy etc on different blogs i ran).
It worked well, so i decided to release it to public.
Its a very simple plugin for now, just adds Patreon buttons to your site without hassles. Depending on users' needs (That's you!) i may add new features. I'll also add any new useful feature Patreon puts into their api.
Enjoy!



Im using it in my own blogs as well
