This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.

Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:

wp plugin install https://github.com/blueblazeassociates/muplugins-subdir-loader/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
No built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.

How to install

Because of the way Composer works, this plugin has to be installed manually. It is for this reason, also, that this plugin has its Composer vendor directory stored in the repository.

To install:

  1. Copy the file muplugins-subdir-loader.php into your WordPress mu-plugins folder.
  2. Copy the muplugins-subdir-loader__vendor folder into your WordPress mu-plugins folder.
  3. The plugin will auto-activate.

Note: The Composer vendor directory has been renamed to muplugins-subdir-loader__vendor. This is to avoid any name collisions with anything else.
