SnapAura Extensions Manager helps you visually organize your plugins into custom categories on the Plugins screen. This is purely organizational – it does not affect plugin loading order, functionality, or your site’s performance.
Perfect for sites with many plugins, this tool makes it easy to find and manage your plugins by grouping them into meaningful categories like “SEO Tools”, “Security”, “E-commerce”, “Development”, etc.
Features:
<ul>
<li>Custom Categories – Create unlimited categories to organize your plugins</li>
<li>Collapsible Groups – Expand/collapse categories to reduce clutter</li>
<li>Quick Filter – Filter by category to see only specific plugin groups</li>
<li>Search Function – Instantly find plugins by name or description</li>
<li>Visual Organization – Clean, intuitive interface integrated into WordPress</li>
<li>Rename & Delete – Easily manage your categories</li>
<li>Plugin Counter – See how many plugins are in each category</li>
<li>Persistent State – Your organization is saved and remembered</li>
<li>No Performance Impact – Pure visual organization, doesn’t affect site speed</li>
<li>Works with Any Theme – Compatible with all WordPress admin themes</li>
</ul>
Use Cases:
<ul>
<li>Organize plugins by function (SEO, Security, Analytics, etc.)</li>
<li>Group plugins by client or project on multisite</li>
<li>Separate active development plugins from stable ones</li>
<li>Create categories for plugins you’re testing</li>
<li>Group related plugins together for easier management</li>
</ul>
How It Works:
<ol>
<li>Go to your Plugins page (Plugins > Installed Plugins)</li>
<li>Click “Assign Category” on any plugin</li>
<li>Enter a category name (creates new categories automatically)</li>
<li>Use collapse/expand arrows to manage screen space</li>
<li>Filter by category or search to find plugins quickly</li>
</ol>
Important: This plugin only organizes how plugins are displayed in your admin panel. It does not disable, enable, or change the loading order of plugins. Your site functionality remains completely unchanged.

Admin Starred Posts lets you mark posts, pages and custom posts within the WordPress admin with stars. 
This helps you highlight a post, or mark it so you remember is important.
For example, you might have tons of pages, but are always editing one or two. In that case, star those pages, 
and they’ll be easily recognizable in your list of posts.
If you’ve used Gmail before, you’re very familiar with this feature. Similar to that email client, this plugin 
let’s you click on a star in your list of posts, pages and custom posts to ‘star’ it.
The plugin works out of the box, but you also get some configuration options to help you customize it to your workflow.
Configuration Options
<ul>
<li>Rotate between 12 different “stars”</li>
<li>Drag and set the orders of your stars</li>
<li>Enable/disable this feature for any post type in your WordPress install</li>
<li>Decide whether you want stars to be visible to every one, or in a per user basis.</li>
</ul>
Other Features
<ul>
<li>You can display only starred posts by using the “Stars” filter available at the top of the posts list.</li>
</ul>
This plugin requires WordPress 3.8 or higher

Admin Starred Posts

Nicely does the job of marking like email inbox. Some feature enhancements like adding from post edit page with a note will be great. 

Excellent plugin


This plugin is so useful for managing site wide updates and status of pages especially when working with a group- which are done, which need attention, which haven't been started. I install it on every site I've ever worked on, so I'm probably responsible for at least a hundred of the active installations. Please keep it updated and tested!!


I absolutely love this plugin!

Mark posts, pages and custom posts in your WordPress admin; pretty similar to the stars feature in Gmail.
