<p>Extension Profiles lets WordPress administrators create named “profiles” that define which plugins should be active. When a profile is activated, only the plugins in that profile are loaded for your session. Other plugins are filtered out without actually being deactivated in the database.</p>
<p>This is ideal for:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Development and testing</strong> – Quickly switch between different configurations without activating/deactivating plugins one by one.</li>
<li><strong>Troubleshooting</strong> – Isolate conflicts by creating minimal profiles.</li>
<li><strong>Performance testing</strong> – Compare site performance with different plugin sets.</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<p>Extension Profiles uses a Must-Use (MU) plugin that intercepts the active plugins list before WordPress loads them. This approach:</p>
<ul>
<li>Never actually deactivates plugins in the database.</li>
<li>Only affects the current user’s session (via a secure cookie).</li>
<li>Has zero overhead when no profile is active.</li>
<li>Preserves all plugin settings and data.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Taxonomy-style admin page</strong> – Familiar interface for creating and managing profiles under the Plugins menu.</li>
<li><strong>Admin bar switcher</strong> – Quickly activate or deactivate profiles from the WordPress admin bar.</li>
<li><strong>Dependency support</strong> – Automatically includes required plugins when WordPress 6.5+ “Requires Plugins” headers are present.</li>
<li><strong>Per-session isolation</strong> – Each user can activate their own profile independently.</li>
<li><strong>Plugins page notice</strong> – Clear warning banner on the Plugins page when a profile is active.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<ul>
<li>WordPress 6.5 or higher (for dependency resolution).</li>
<li>PHP 7.4 or higher.</li>
<li>Write access to the <code>wp-content/mu-plugins/</code> directory.</li>
</ul>
