Quick Plugin Installer

A WordPress plugin to quickly install and activate plugins without doing a page refresh after each step.

This is mostly a concept at this point and could use some improvements. It may not work with plugins that have custom activation routines.

Pull requests are welcome.

Installation

Git

Using git, browse to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory and clone this repository:

git clone git@github.com:bradyvercher/wp-quick-plugin-installer.git

Then go to your Plugins screen and click Activate.

Usage

Search for a plugin as usual, but now, when you click Install, the plugin will be installed in the background and you'll have the option to activate it immediately. Then search for and install another plugin without ever leaving the results page.

It works on the Favorites tab, too, so you can breeze through your favorite plugins and install them without all the page refreshes in-between.

Notes

The concept was inspired by the installation routine in the Developer plugin.
