A very simple shortcode series to create a text area which can be hidden or displayed based on a click on the title. Text areas by default are hidden.
This shortcode series uses jQuery functionality to a) determine which text areas are to be toggled and b) toggle them.
<h4>Use</h4>
Basic use is to surround a block of text with the “[tt]” shortcode and specify a title parameter within the shortcode. The title will be shown on the page, preceeded by an indicator whether the associated text area is hidden (►) or shown (▼). Clicking the title link will toggle the display of the dependant text area, as well as toggle the indicator.
Groups of text areas can be shown or hidden at once through the “[tt_part]” and “[tt_all]” shortcodes.
The “[tt_part]” shortcode uses a required parameter named “class” that links it to all “[tt]” shortcodes and their associated text areas with the same class parameter. Clicking the “[tt_part]” title link will toggle all associated text areas and any “[tt_part]” shortcode links with the same class according to the status of the parent shortcode. Text areas of this section that are already displayed when the parent link is clicked will remain displayed, and vice versa with hidden text areas.
The “[tt_all]” shortcode will toggle all “[tt]” shortcode text areas, any intermediate “[tt_part]” links and any mirrored “[tt_all]” links, according to the status of the particular title link. Text areas that are already displayed when the overall link is clicked to display all the text areas will remain displayed, and vice versa with hidden text areas.
Both the “[tt_part]” and “[tt_all]” shortcodes may be placed anywhere on the web page and can be used multiple times on the same web page.
<h4>Parameters</h4>
The “[tt]” shortcode has one required parameter and two optional parameters, plus the required content of the shortcode.
<ul>
<li>The “class” parameter is optional: this links the particular text area with the “[tt_part]” shortcode, which can display or hide groups of text areas. This parameter must consist of only letters and numbers.</li>
<li>The “style” parameter is optional: this allows the author to apply CSS style components to the given shortcode content, which will only be visible when the content is made visible. Style components are limited to anything that applies to the area surrounding and including the area to be displayed and are limited to the following: background-color, border, border-color, border-radius, border-size, border-style, and color. Any other style components or any other text will be ignored. </li>
<li>The “title” parameter is required: this what is displayed as the title of the text area and is used as the control link. </li>
</ul>
The “[tt_part]” short code has two required parameters; it does not use any content.
<ul>
<li>The “class” parameter is required: this is the link to all associated “[tt]” text areas. This parameter must consist of only letters and numbers.</li>
<li>The “title” parameter is required: this what is displayed as the title of the control link, preceded by “Show / Hide All”.</li>
</ul>
The “[tt_all]” short code has no parameters and it does not use any content.

For those times when you’re too lazy to visit the Plugins screen to toggle a plugin on or off.
It’s also helpful when troubleshooting:
<blockquote>
This simple plugin is awesome, especially when it comes to diagnosing problems. One of the tenants of troubleshooting WordPress is to disable every plugin and re-enable them one by one in a process of elimination.
Generally, this is accomplished by having the plugin management page in one browser tab with the front end of the website in another. When a plugin is deactivated, switch browser tabs and refresh to see if the problem disappears. Depending on the speed of your site and the number of plugins installed, this can be a cumbersome experience.

Plugin Toggle

Simply yet effective. Very useful plugin. Thanks for developing this plugin is excellent.

One of the most needed plugin for the theme developers


I found this looking for a way to toggle Query Monitor to only use when debugging speed issues, since Query Monitor is a best of a plugin, an you don't want it running all the time, since it does cause significant Admin slowdown while using.



Same of many other Admin or infrequent use plugins. You want them installed, ready for occasional use, but not in day to day operations. 



Other's useful to know and toggle: Code Profiler, Black Bar, Anti-Malware Security and Brute-Force Firewall, Wider Admin Menu (sometimes overlaps some plugins not recognising this tweak), User Switching, Index WP MySWL for Speed, and many other occasional use plugins.



Thank you for your service. Another great example of how Wordpress's vast community hive-mind experiences and solves. 👍



PS: Be even more amazing if you could make it work with the other very helpful "Plugin Groups".


Genius! Essential for rapid development & testing plugins

Quickly toggle plugin activation status from the toolbar.
